July 9, 1917 - February 7, 2017

Young, Beatrice "Bea" Bea passed on February 7, 2017, at Marquis Gardens Place, Uniontown.

Born July 9, 1917, Bea was the daughter of the late William and Irene Farber Young and the sister of the late Grace Young, Sylvia Large, Jessie Hegyes, Gertrude Weinert and Clyde Young. She was also preceded in death by her beloved nephew, The Rev. William Large. She is survived by her niece, Irene (David) Campagna, who took good care of her. Irene kept her freezer filled with delicious dinners. She and Bob were always there for her, taking her shopping, to doctor appointments, etc. Bea is survived by other dear nieces who always stayed close and in touch with her; Nancy (Earl) Wilson of Minnesota, Bonnie (Robert) Foster of North Carolina, and Cathy (Wayne) Recker of Florida. Bea graduated from Monongahela High School. She received a Bachelor of Science degree from California State Teachers College. She received a Master's degree from the University of Pittsburgh, graduating at the top of her class. She began her career as an elementary classroom teacher and later received the position of Reading Supervisor for the West Jefferson Hills School District. She enjoyed teaching children to read and found it to be challenging and very rewarding. She retired after 34 years to help take care of her very dear father. She enjoyed golfing, shopping (in Macy's), reading, old movies, and family gatherings. She will be remembered for always being well-dressed. She firmly believed that "There is no age limit to looking good." She is 99 years old. The last time she was seen, she was wearing one of her lovely Calvin Klein suits. Her entire outfit was perfectly coordinated! Way to go, Auntie Bea. There will be no public visitation. Interment will be held privately. The family wishes to thank her caregivers Debbie Patterson, Mary Daily, Rebecca Martinelli, Jill Olesh, Colleen Orris, Joyce Sheehan, Tammy and Kathy of Medi Hospice and also all of the staff at Marquis Place. A Memorial Service will be held privately. Arrangements entrusted to the John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227.
