In her younger years she was magnetic and so charming she brightened up every room she entered.
In her later years, she endured a roller coaster of declining health. She was surrounded by her family and cared for faithfully by her angels here on earth, her mother and her godmother (Gran and Aunt Susie). They were always with her and were both there when she took her last breath; peacefully and at home.
Although her life was complicated, a road with many turns, it was also a beautiful wild ride rich with love and connections. Sixty-six years of giving and receiving love. She is still loved always and forever.
Beabe is predeceased by her father, Harold Waters Sr. She is survived by her husband John McIntyre, her mother Carolyn Waters, her godmother Aunt Susie Carle, her daughter Heather (Ole) Love Kristiansen, her son Gary Ray Spann Jr.(Beau), and Rebecca Rankin, her brother, Harold (Rusty) (Gail) Waters Jr., one nephew, 5 nieces, 17 great nieces and nephews.
