Bea Linas Obituary
April 2, 1921 - May 28, 2025
Bea Rueben Linas, 104, of Richmond, passed away peacefully on May 28, 2025.
Born on April 2, 1921, Bea was known for her sharp sense of humor and her love of fashion. She was never without her meticulously curated jewelry or her signature lipstick. She was a formidable Mahjong player, and she valued the friendships she built around the game. She was always up for a lunch date and a shopping trip. Most of all, she loved being Booboo to her grandchildren, whom she adored.
Bea was preceded in death by her beloved first husband, Neil Rueben, and by her second husband of 34 years, Sidney Linas.
She is survived by her son, Bruce Rueben (Kim Hostetler); her grandchildren, Cantor Jennifer Rueben, Ashley Rueben, Julia Rueben, and Jonathan Rueben; her great-granddaughter, Braya Denise; and her stepsons, Howard Linas (Jane), Keith Linas (Maura), Ian Linas, and Philip Linas (Norma), and their families. She also leaves behind many devoted nieces, nephews, and friends.
The family is so grateful for her team of caregivers for the compassionate care they provided for Bea in her final years.
A graveside funeral will be held at Richmond Beth-El Cemetery at Forest Lawn at 11 a.m. on June 8, 2025, officiated by her granddaughter, Cantor Jennifer Rueben.
