Bea had such an impact on our years in New York, both professionally and personally. As an educator we admired her astute and inspiring leadership and valued her support and care for the antipodean consultants. Personally, we have many happy and precious memories of Bea's warm and welcoming hospitality and the gift of her friendship. Rest in peace Bea.

We are truly heartbroken to hear of Bea's passing. It was an absolute honor to be her daughter-in-law. Bea was one of the most courageous, intelligent, and caring individuals I have ever known. She brought constant positivity into our lives, and she will always be held dear in my heart. Our sincerest condolences to the family.
