Her passing took place amidst the loving attention of her family in Edmonton and the kind and capable staff at Rosedale. Bea was born in 1916, the youngest of seven children, all of whom have predeceased her. Her early life, on the family farm at Namao, was followed by a move to the City and post secondary education. She joined McTavish Business College as an assistant instructor, but her dedication and reliability led to her becoming, by 1968, assistant principal. At the College, the first business school in Edmonton, Bea helped hundreds of young women become skilled office and secretarial professionals. In the midst of this long career, she nursed her ailing father during a lengthy illness. By 1968 the College closed, and she followed its principal, Allan McTavish to the Institute of Chartered Accountants where she became their first full time office employee. Many happy years of faithful employ passed, and Bea ultimately became the Student Registrar. After retirement in the mid 80s, Bea continued to visit with her siblings, as well as the growing number of nieces, nephews and their children, in her extended family at Namao and Edmonton. Bea's regular Sunday deliveries of pastries and baking made her visits a highlight of her families' lives. She could always be counted on, by friends and family, for a smile, a pithy comment, and a positive outlook. These traits, the characteristics of her hardy pioneer family, stayed with her to the end of her days, and made every visit a pleasure. A Memorial Service will be conducted on Saturday, November 27, 2010 at noon at Knox Metropolitan United Church, 8307 - 109 Street. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Edmonton Humane Society, 13620 - 163 Street, Edmonton, AB T5V 0B2, or to the Alzheimer's Society of Edmonton, 10531 Kingsway Avenue, Edmonton, AB T5H 4K1.
