Our sincere condolences go out to Bea's family.
Bea was a wonderful person who was adored by her friends at the Good Life Retirement Center community. She was always so kind and such a genuine lady.
We also loved visiting her favorite her daughters Rita and Shirley and their dogs Skeeter and Lucy when they came to see her.
She will be missed and always remembered!
