After retirement, Ed and Bea had great fun traveling across the United States including Alaska and Canada and going on Caribbean cruises. They spent their time with woodworking and making crafts, playing cards, dancing, and participating in parades for many years with Ed’s mini steam engine. Bea took pride in her cooking & baking skills and made the best ever pies and cinnamon rolls from scratch.

The family would like to express sincere appreciation to the teams and staff at Wickshire Assisted Living and Agrace Hospice for their gentle and compassionate care to Mom.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, a private service for immediate family will be held. Interment will be at Sun Prairie Memory Gardens Cemetery.
Bea was strong, intelligent, and always resilient. Thank you, Mom, for all you taught us. Rest peacefully in His love – until we meet again.
