Bea was a longtime resident of Newtown. She worked at TR Paul for 30 years as an Administrative Clerk. Besides spending time with her family, she loved her casino trips, playing cards, dancing, bible studies and looked forward all year long to her Ocean City family vacations. Her life was an example of her favorite Bible verse “I can do all this through him who gives me strength” Philippians 4:13. She was an inspiration to all who had the honor of being touched by her loving and caring ways.
