Bee and Perry lived in the south Kansas City area, including Ruskin Heights, St. Catherine’s Gardens, 95th and Jarboe and Wellington Greens neighborhoods. Bee found work at the IRS and Department of Agriculture in south KC. When raising her family, she volunteered as a Cub Scout den leader. A favorite family memory was packing up the family of 10 into the back of the station wagon to watch a movie at the Leawood Drive-in on State Line Rd.  Bee loved to play bridge, do crossword puzzles, and was an avid reader every day.

The family respectfully requests no flowers, but encourages donations to the Association of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville, MO. www.amm.org. Obituary and photos can be found at www.legacy.com.
