At a young age she moved to Vernon, Texas where she resided until 1965 when she moved to Edmond, Ok, residing there until she left to be with our Lord Jesus. Bee was a very active member at Heritage Baptist Church. Her church was a second family for her. Bee loved to read. A relaxing day for her was spent quietly on her couch with a good book, her favorite TV shows and her dog Tonto.

Bee worked at the City of Oklahoma City Municipal Court as file clerk for 13 years and until her hospitalization. Prior to her work with the city, Bee was the manager of Red Carpet Motel in Edmond for almost 30 years starting in 1975. She developed many friends at both places.

Beoma was a faithful and proud follower of Jesus Christ. She was known to most who knew her as the strongest person they knew. Bee loved her family fiercely. She always put the needs and desires of others far beyond her own.

Bee will be missed greatly. She will always live on in those who knew and loved her.
