Beatrice Anne Cardelli (Beanne), 89, of Roswell. Georgia, passed away peacefully on May 26, 2026, after a lengthy illness that she faced with remarkable courage, grace, and unwavering faith. Her husband and children were with her at the time of her passing.

Born on April 15, 1937, in Steubenville, Ohio, Beanne was the daughter of the late Cecil and Kathryn Baker. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Cecil II and Paul. A graduate of Follansbee West Virginia High School, Beatrice began her career as an oral surgeon’s assistant and was also a well-known model in Ohio and West Virginia. Her life changed forever when she met the love of her life at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio. They were married on July 25, 1959, and began a journey that led to 66 years of marriage. Her husband was an executive with Equifax which brought them from Ohio to Georgia where they established a partnership built on love, faith, devotion, and family.

A woman of deep faith and compassion, Beanne lived her life guided by kindness, generosity, and love. She was known for her gentle spirit and steadfast devotion to those she cherished. She found happiness in tending her beautiful flower gardens, feeding visiting chipmunks and squirrels, caring for her beloved pets, and spending time with family and friends. Among her greatest pleasures was visiting her favorite vacation destination, the Dominican Republic, where she created countless cherished memories with loved ones from all over the world.

Beanne was a devoted wife, and a loving mother to her children. She is survived by her husband, Dario; her children, Tammy Johnson, Robert Cardelli (Jennifer); and a cherished grandmother to Emily, Nicholas, Cole, and Coen. Her family was the center of her world, and she took great joy in creating a warm and welcoming home filled with love, laughter, and treasured memories. Her enthusiasm for the holiday season was unmatched. Family and friends will forever remember the beauty of her holiday decorations, parties, thoughtful gifts she carefully selected and the joy she brought to every celebration.

Beanne’s legacy is one of love, faith, strength, and selfless devotion to family. She touched the lives of all who knew her and will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and lovingly carried within the hearts of her family and friends.

A Mass will be held on Saturday, June 6th, 11am at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Roswell, with a Celebration of Life following. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that those wishing to honor Beanne’s memory plant a tree, a living tribute reflecting her love of nature and the beauty she brought to the world.
