Those who knew Bea will remember her as a great storyteller. We will always recall the extraordinary tales about her years growing up on the family farm in Kingcome Inlet. She was a true pioneer who could take on anything that life sent her way. We will miss her strong spirit, sharp wit and sense of humor. Her’s was a life truly lived, and to the multitudes of people she touched — she will be remembered forever.
