"Bea was my charge nurse years ago at West Liberty. She was lots of fun to work with. She "kept me in line". I had a lot of respect for her."

"I was good friends with her sons growing up and spent many a night over at their home. A fond memory of my childhood that featured her happened one morning after Jim and I had stayed up a little late and fallen asleep in the living room, me on the floor under the Christmas tree. That morning she arrived home from an overnight shift and she remarked "that's all you got me for Christmas." I think she'd worked a double that night but she still made us coffee. Bea was a great lady and I send my deepest condolences to her family. "
