Beatrice (Bea) Kizziah Parr

Most people called her Bea and she was also known as Gan-Gan. Bea was born on September 29, 1930. She was a loving, Christian mother and friend who loved helping people. She had a heart of gold and would do anything in the world for all who knew her. She would give the shirt off her back even if it left her with nothing. She loved her son and his family, helped to raise her granddaughter Cristy and great-grandson, Colton. She never had a negative word to say about anything, and she always saw the good. Earth may have lost and amazing woman, but Heaven gained one. The Lord was there to greet her and say, It’s Welcome Home.

Survivors include her son; Bruce Lee Parr (Annette) of Peterson, granddaughter; Cristy Drummond (Michael) of Moundville, great-grandson; Colton Drummond of Moundville, sister-in-law; Betty Kizziah of Peterson.
