Beatrice, 81, was a native of Swords and was a longtime resident of Lawtell. She passed away on Saturday, October 24, 2015, at Lafayette General Medical Center.
Bea was a very loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She had great pride for her family and loved spending time with them. As a homemaker, she was always cooking and worrying about the next meal. She loved to dance and once unable to finish a dance herself, she was happy to sit and watch her family carry on her love of dance. She loved playing Bouree', a tradition that started at a young age, playing with her mother and cousins, which carried on throughout her life. She had many funny stories of the times spent with her card playing buddies.
