She married the late Edward Bartalos on May 12, 1977, in Alexandria, VA. The two, settled in Fairfax, Virginia, and Bea became homemaker to her two children Claire and Eddie.
Many knew Bea to have an infectious smile and caring heart. She loved nature, baking sweets, and writing. She always found ways to warm your heart by passing on words of encouragement, verses from the bible, or a card to bring a ray of sunshine into your heart. Her kind words ended with “lots of love and millions of kisses.”
