[excerpt from The Ledger, 2014-03-06]
BEATRICE F. JOHNSON, 81
LAKELAND – Beatrice F. Johnson, age 81, born 3/6/32 in Rochester NY, passed 2/11/14 at the Lakeland Regional Medical Center from heart failure.
Bea was an accomplished quilter and active in both The Feather Princes and the Ladies of the Lakes Quilt Guilds. She was a loving wife to William over the past, all too short, thirty-seven years. Once asked about her goal in life, she replied “to leave this world a little better than she found it.” This she did! She will be sorely missed.
Survivors include husband William [Bill, KI4ZMV], sons Stephen and Michael, stepson William H. Johnson, III, and sister Margery.
A celebration of life service will be held Saturday March 22 for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, please perform some unselfish random act of kindness with Bea in mind. She would love that.
