She was well known for her musical abilities as she and Charlie played for many old time dances, and the Candy orchestra was a bit of a legend in the Weyburn area. In retirement years she took up selling Avon and even though she didn't drive a car became Weyburn's premiere Avon lady. The coffee pot was always on and the Avon on the dining room table. Bea enjoyed her family and friends, and neighbours and lived a good long life. She never said an unkind word, never complained and believed to the end that she was truly blessed. The last few years of her life were spent in Winnipeg to be near Sharon and they enjoyed many outings together. A special thank you to the Portsmouth Retirement Centre and to the special staff on station 2 at the Tuxedo Villa in Winnipeg for their care and compassion. Bea was a real lady and did everything to the best of her ability, and she will be truly missed and remembered by all who knew her.
