Beatrice was very soft spoken; she had a very humble spirit and would help anyone she could. Beatrice is survived by her sister-in-law Norma Martinez of Harrisburg, a niece who she helped raise, Sierra I. Martinez Courtney, a host of grandchildren, nieces and nephews that she loved and cherished dearly!

God Saw You Getting Tired God say you getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put his arms around you And whispered, “Come to Me” With tearful eyes we watched you And saw you pass away And although we love you dearly We could not make you stay. A Golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Beatrice F.
