My Mamaw Bea was the strongest, sweetest, generous, funny, faithful, and most blessed woman I have ever known. As a child, I remember her coming to our house for our birthdays, going to her house on Friday nights and spending the night (we got to eat spaghettios and eat ‘good cereal’, while Mamaw ate a grapefruit with sugar on top), singing or humming all the time, her wonderful cooking that I cannot recreate, her love of God, her love of her family and friends. I miss her dearly, but she was ready to meet her Heavenly Father and reunite with my Papaw Herman (whom I never got to meet) as well as her family and friends who have preceded her. She is now a beautiful Angel shining down on all of us. I love you Mamaw!
A lady whose roots ran deep in Fairview soil. Such a legacy we should all wish for. My deepest sympathy to the family.
Prayers to Ray and your family in the loss of your beloved mother.
Ray I’m sorry to hear about your Mom passing. I remember her and your Dad coming in the A&P when you and me worked there. May God give you peace during this time. Take care my friend.
Ray I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I know how special she was to you and your family. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
