Beatrice Olivia Howard

Sept 14, 1914 - March 14, 2015

On Saturday, March 14th at 9:30 AM, Beatrice Olivia Howard passed away peacefully. She left behind a daughter, Inez Lang, and a son, Leonard Howard, who loved her dearly along with 6 grand children and 9 great grand children and a host of family and friends.

Beatrice (Bea) was born in Mexico, and she came to the United States with her mother and father while still a child. She graduated from San Diego High School in the 1930's and worked as a secretary until World War II when she met and married the love of her life, Leonard (Lenny) E. Howard. Together, through thick and thin, flush or lean, and a career of military deployments they raised their children and saw them graduate college and become successful and happily married.

In a life of over 100 years, Bea earned the respect and love of countless family and friends who remember her wit, wisdom, and sense of humor that charmed so many. She goes to join her love, Lenny, who passed away 19 years ago and she now sleeps in his arms in eternal happiness.

A mass will be held at St. Gabriel Church, 13734 Twin Peaks Road, Poway, CA on March 27th at 10:00 AM with a reception to follow in the church hall for family and friends to honor the memory of Beatrice Howard.
