My deepest sympathy to Bea's family, especially Toni Kaye. Bea was a wonderful lady, and she and her late husband, Tony, were some of my favorite relatives when growing up. The Littel family reunions were quite the events. My thoughts and prayers to all. Ray Kurth Jr.

To the Littel Family, the Brandon Family. My sympathies on the passing of Bea. I got to know Bea while she was a resident of Emerson Sr. Living where I am currently a resident. I must say I was surprised when reading Bea's obituary that I knew her two sisters Joan and Jeanette through Trinity Lutheran Church. The world is a small place. Bea was a delight to know. May God comfort all who mourn. May your memories sustain you until you are reunited in Heaven. Peace!!

Grandma Bea is a legend. Was always there for me no matter what, taught me a lot about the importance of family. Showed up to every sporting event, band concert etc. When I was about 10 years old I asked grandma why did you have so many kids? she replied I don't know ask your grandpa. it wasn't until years later that I laughed hysterically understanding her joke. I love you grandma and I will miss you forever.
