i just friended her on Facebook to find this. So sorry for your loss. Another reunion in heaven for a Sunland Baptist. May God bless her family
So sorry to read this. Bea was one of my favorites from Sunland First Baptist. Man blessings to you all.
So sorry to hear of Bea’s passing. My heart goes out to you Anita and Ed and families. She was one of the great generation of Sunland Baptist for sure. I’m certain they are having one great reunion in heaven!
Anita, Ed and family I am praying that you feel comfort and love during this difficult time. Your mother was so beautiful both inside and out. She was a loved woman of God. I am sure she will be welcomed with open arms from the Pathfinder’s who have gone before her. The family, I know, will feel a great loss, but I know the memories of the love she gave each one of you will always be cherished and get you through the sadness at this time. May God bless you all.
Bea and I joined the Hemet Women’s, in Hemet, Ca. the same year 1998. Bea was elected president in 2004. We had a wonderful
group of friends. We attended First Baptist Church, in Hemet
together for many years. Our husbands always enjoyed our group
together. Bea loved her family and was a devoted wife and Mother. She is with our Lord now. So sorry for your loss, she will be missed by so many.
I am so sorry to hear this. Bea was the almost the last of my mother’s generation of cousins. She was greatly loved.
Thank you family for the obituary. Bea and Don were such great neighbors when we lived next door in Sunland. Moving away from Sunland kept us from keeping in touch except for Christmas cards. So grateful to have had your folks in my life. Love, Betty (Cassie) Castleberry
So sorry for your loss. Bea was a great lady and one of my favorite people in the world. George and I lived near Bea and Don in San Jacinto and enjoyed their company. We made many trips with them when we took our trailer and Vans on road trips together.
