My husband, Steve and I had the pleasure of becoming friends with Beatrice through the “meals on wheels” program. She always asked about our girls and was delighted that we were all Methodists. She was a very dear lady and will be missed greatly.. We were saddened to have missed her service, but we were out of town at a family reunion. Rest In Peace, sweet lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.
