In her earlier years, she also enjoyed canning and preserving her tasty harvest. Bea also enjoyed needlework, and she never missed the chance to take a break from her daily activities to visit with family and friends to catch up on the news of the day. She often reminisced about her days on the farm as a young girl ��" those days were a source of many fond memories for her.
