Granny Bea was a loving Sister, Mother, and Grandmother.  She loved her church family and friends.  She was crazy about her Pastor and First Lady.   Granny Bea loved fashion.  Every time you looked up, she was in her car and gone.  She would always tell us she was getting ready for bed, and we would joke and ask her for what: You don't have a job. She would smile and say I'm going to the mountains with Victoria in the morning.  She would come home and tell us what a great time she had.  She loved watching basketball and sitting on the porch with her family and neighbors. Granny Bea lived her life to the fullest. Granny Bea would always tell us you will never know the time, day, or hour when the Lord will call you home.
