Beatrice enjoyed working at the IWK Hospital and TUNS and was known as "Mom" to many of the students.  She was a proud member of the Legion, Ladies Auxiliary and the Cape Breton Club. Beatrice was immensely proud of her family and her grandchildren, enjoyed bingo, home cooking and baking, watching hockey (Montreal) and a search-a-word book was always within reach.  Beatrice was a devoted Catholic and one of her fondest memories was a trip to Saint Anne de Beaupré. She was a loving mother and wife and affectionately known as Aunt Bea to many of her nieces and nephews. She will be fondly remembered by anyone who knew her and her great love for children - and all the beautiful cheeks she pinched.
