Bea will be remembered as one who always had a sweet disposition, cared for others, prayed for countless people, sent thousands of cards, gave financially to many organizations, and always tucked inside money or a gift card at birthdays and anniversaries of her loved ones.

Per Beas wishes in lieu of flowers a memorial is being established for Samaritans Purse (a non-profit relief and evangelism organization working in more than 100 countries around the world), she had been a diligent giver to this ministry for many years. Bea loved the staff and people at Bethel Home and spoke lovingly of them many times, especially all the wonderful nurses and her special angel, Ginger. Beas family would like to thank Dr. Matt Kraemer and Mary Deli APNP for the wonderful care she was given. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:1
