Bernadette Smith

The sudden and unexpected loss of Bernadette Smith has left her family and friends heartbroken and devastated. She touched so many lives with her kindness and endless service. She was the most loving person. Everyone who met her would instantly fall in love. She had a smile to light up the room. She treated everyone fairly no matter what. She cared so deeply about her family and continued to adopt friends as family. To most she was known as Aunt Bea, her heart was too big to have a friend only label. One thing that filled her heart with joy was to provide for her family and friends, especially with food. Cooking and baking brought her the most joy and being able to see others enjoy her hard work made her eyes light up. She always wanted to do everything that crossed her path, she had a free spirit and believed deeply. There will never be enough words to express how much we love and appreciate everything about her. We will miss her dearly.

Hi! This is a message from Bea's granddaughter my dad and mom were devastated hearing the news of my grandmother's death. My grandma meant so much to me and I wouldn't be here without her. To honor her memory in the best way possible, we are asking for help to raise money for a celebration of life along with help for tribute gifts to some of her favorite places in Arizona.
