Beatrice was born silent on 9/14/25, in the arms of Jody and Ryan, in Commerce, MI. Though her time on earth was short, her life was a profound blessing, filling our family with immense love and bringing us precious moments of joy. We are eternally grateful for the love we shared and the brief, beautiful life of our precious little Bumble Bea.
Beatrice is survived by her loving parents, Ryan and Jody, and her sisters, Evie, Louie, and Regi. She is also survived by her Grandpa Leddy and too many aunts, uncles, and cousins to list.
A private family service will be held to celebrate Beatrice’s life. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to one of the following organizations who provided support and hope throughout Jody’s pregnancy:
