Beatrice Elizabeth Greer Brolin Frank

BEATRICE ELIZABETH GREER BROLIN FRANK SEPT. 10, 1914 - MAY 30, 2007 Beatrice Elizabeth Greer Brolin Frank died in Ventura of pneumonia on May 30th. She was 92 years old. Born in Hughson, she became a Modesto resident with her husband, Howard, in 1936. She was a proud member of Geneva Presbyterian Church for forty-two years.

Bea attended Turlock High School, and Holy Rosary Academy in Woodland. She was a kindergarten teacher during WWII, and later worked at Kiddie Kollege of Nursery Knowledge. She loved teaching the younger kids, and was generous in sharing her techniques and library of games with the older ones.

She is lovingly remembered by Barbra Frank and Patt and Larry Hochhalter as a woman on the go. She loved getting her house in apple-pie'' order, and then she'd be off looking for something fun or helpful to do. Her red hair made her stand out in the crowd, and that's exactly where she liked to be. She loved to sing, and her favorite song was It Had To Be You''.

She enjoyed grandkids Gina, Tom, Emily, Jessie and Bailey. She loved the holiday parties hosted by her sister-in-law, Bertha Phillips, and she loved being Auntie Bea'' to Skip, Judy, Linda, Jeannie, and Michael, and their families.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to Michael Diller, her constant, thoughtful companion, and our father's namesake, Don Howard Crawford, who provided humor and support to all of us these last few years.

Please join us in celebrating the life of Bea Frank.
