Beatrice "Mamo" Stagner Amacker, age 92, of Turnerville, Alabama passed away on Thursday, June 16, 2022. She was born in Turnerville, Alabama, Friday, November 8, 1929 to the late Henry Myra Parnell Stagner. Beatrice worked at Kress at the lunch counter in high school, Goldstein's Jewelry Store as a bookkeeper, and Chavis motors as a secretary. She was a graduate of Citronelle High School, class of 1947. Mamo enjoyed traveling, meeting and talking with people. She had the kind of spirit, a friend was simply someone she hadn't met yet, simply drawing people in effortlessly. Mamo would read, sew, crochet, listen to Big Band music of the 40's, and watch old movies (especially musicals and westerns). She loved to laugh and had the most infectious laugh imaginable. Mamo loved the Lord and her family with all of her heart. She loved watching college football, especially the crimson tide. Mamo even ended up with a larger tv so she could see the downs on the bottom of the screen. Known by her family and friends as Aunt Bea or Mamo, she never took for granted the special moments shared with everyone.
Mamo was preceded in passing by her parents; her beloved husband, James Horace Amacker; one son, Johnny Jack Amacker; four stillborn infants; a brother, Leon Stagner; and a nephew, Gary Michael Stagner.
Left to cherish Mamo's vivacious memories are a granddaughter, Amber L. Thrower and her husband, Brad Thrower who she referred to as a grandson; one grandson, Jamie Amacker; five great-grandchildren; Dale Thrower, Jaylee Amacker, Carsyn Thrower, Brantley Amacker, Jaxon Amacker; a brother-in-law, Jimmy Amacker (Patsy); a nephew, Ron Stagner (Maureen) to whom she shared a special bond with and was more like a son to her; along with many extended family memories and numerous wonderful friends.
