Notes:  At the age of 7 Bea and her parents moved to Visalia, California, where her maternal grandparents (John Vollmer and Maria Genshow) already resided, and became part of German immigrant community there. Bea was a resident of Napa from 1931 until her death.  A devoted wife, mother, and homemaker, she still found time to garden, bowl, and work at solving crossword puzzles.  The photo at the right was taken circa 1950. During the decade following Gene's death, Bea's big joy was going on bus trips to Reno almost every Friday with friends.  In 2003, at the age of 90, Bea said I still drive and have my drivers license for 5 more years.  By 2005, however, Bea had difficulty hearing but did not like wearing a hearing aid. On 31 Mar 2007 Bea had a serious stroke that left her unable to swallow or speak.  After three days in the hospital she was moved to the nursing home where she later passed on at age 94.
