I am saddened by the news of Bea's passing. She truly was an inspiration to all on the Habitat trips and will be missed.
Ziggy
I am so sad to learn about Bea's passing. I met her on my first build to Nicaragua and it took about a second to see how special she was. She will be missed.
Annette
She was such an amazing person and we will miss her. Please give our condolences to her family.
Doing a build in Nicaragua won’t be the same without her.
Marta
She touched so many lives there as well as in Habitat teams. She was an amazingly special person.
Joyce
I’m so sorry to hear about Bea’s passing. She was such an amazing woman. Like Mai Le, I was thinking about how we celebrated her birthday every evening in Costa Rica. She will also hold a dear spot in my heart.
Tim
So sorry to lose Bea, will never forget our time together at Rosa's build.
Pam
I am sorry to hear that. My sympathies to you and everyone else who holds her dearly. The Costa Rica Habitat trip has been a memorable one for me. Meeting great people, working together with everyone and Bea for a good cause, and celebrating her birthday every day we were there :) She's an inspiration, a strong woman with a heart of gold.
Mai Le
This breaks my heart! I only met her in February for that one build, but she was just such a sweet and gentle woman. I found it inspiring to see her work and to hear of all the trips she had been involved in.
Courtney
This is sad news, but she has been received with welcomed arms, for sure!
Martha
So sorry about Bea. We thoroughly enjoyed her for the short time that we knew her
Kicab
Bea really was a remarkable women. I could tell from the second I saw her energy in the Poland build even at her age. She was really an inspiration.
Chelsea
So sorry to hear about Bea and so sorry for your loss! She was such an amazing lady and SO much fun to work with on a build! She and I spent many hours building "ladders" together in Nicaragua! She will be greatly missed!
Tammy
So sorry. Habitat has lost a special friend.
Saying a prayer for her…
Steve and Barb
I am so sorry to hear this. I will always have the fondest memories of Bea and our time in Nicaragua. She was inspirational and made me want to be more curious about the world.
Bonnie G.
She was a remarkable woman!
Paul
I will surely miss seeing her on these trips and all the stories she would tell…
It’s odd that I was thinking last week of the time that she and I were working together in Nicaragua cutting rebar and she kept telling me how she was getting too old for these trips and we had this whole discussion on the fact that if we were not cutting the rebar that someone else, probably more capable, would have to do it in our place, so it was a good thing that they had us 2 there working on it… then she went on to tell me story after story. I loved just listening to all her experiences. Lots of good memories.
Bonnie W.
Very sad, yet I am thankful she is in heaven!
Brandon
This is so sad. It will be hard to do a build without her. She was an amazing person.
Karen
What a loss for so many builders and people of good will. I'll miss her pithy comments about so many issues.
Clemence
John and I are very sad learning Bea's passing. We were fortunate to meet Bea in Ghana. She wanted to live her life the fullest.
Polly
What a loss for us all. She will be missed around the world.

Our prayers will continue for the family in this loss. I was fortunate to build with Bea with Habitat for Humanity in several countries, especially in Nicaragua, and with Fuller Center for Housing in Ghana this January. I marveled at her energy, sense of humor and great interest in people of all backgrounds and cultures. She will be missed and remembered around the world.

We are really saddened learning these news.
We came known Bea in Finlandia Foundation and for her interest in Finnish History in Southern Florida. She was really determined to conclude what she started but we never know how many days we have left.
Our deepest condolences.
