She was a migrant worker, with her family, throughout her younger years and lived most of her life in Carrizo where she met and married her husband "Paco" on March 2, 1974, and started a family.

They had five children, but lost Guillermo at birth, After getting married she worked alongside her husband farming watermelons and other fruits and vegetables. She then worked at the nursing home, and studied to become a Certified Nurses Assistant (1999). Bea worked and retired in 2012 from Dimmit Regional Hospital, where she enjoyed working with her daughter Cristina, an LVN, at the hospital.

She was a daughter, sister, niece, aunt, wife, mother, and a friend. Always liked talking, cooking, karaoke, church, laughing with family and friends. The perfect mother! She liked sitting around the kitchen table to play games, make puzzles, and to listen and give advice to her children's up and downs.

Her greatest accomplishment was to honor her Heavenly Father Jehova. She got baptized October , 2012, as a Jehova's Witness, and served faithfully until her death.

In her memory, know that God is Love! Love is patient! Love is king! It doesn't envy! It doesn't boast! And it never, ever gives up! Faith, hope, and love remains, but the greatest of these is love. Love always wins! Happily ever after in Christ Jesus!
