A Little about Bea:
Bea was born in 1939 in Bryan, Texas. When she enlisted as a registered nurse in the U.S. Air Force in September, 1967, her rank was first lieutenant. Upon her retirement twenty six years later, she held the rank of full colonel. She was dispatched to Vietnam in September, 1968, as a part of the 12th Air Force Hospital at Cam Ranh Bay, South Vietnam. She came to Stephenville in 1994, as Nurse Executive at Harris Methodist Erath Hospital. After leaving the hospital in 2000, she accepted a teaching position in the School of Nursing at Tarleton State University. Her primary teaching duty and passion was in the area of Leadership and Management for senior nursing students.
While in Stephenville, Bea was a member of St. Mary's Catholic Church, the Stephenville Lion's Club, American Legion, VFW, Hispanic Business Council, and served as an Ambassador for the Stephenville Chamber of Commerce from 2001-2006, and as Ambassador Club Secretary in 2004.
