Rochester. Beatrice Smith, known to her friends and family as Bea, died Monday, June 9th at the age of 91. She was the beloved wife of the late Edward Smith for fifty-four years. She passed peacefully in her sleep, the oldest daughter of Frederick and Hazel Heusler. She will always be remembered for her kindness, warm smile, her sharp wit and humor, and her love of flowers. She will be missed by all. Her greatest joy was being with her family. She was the proud mother of four children: Edward (Lorraine Vail) Smith of Phoeniz, AZ; Richard (Cindi Norbut) Smith of Rochester, NY; Douglas (Marsha) Smith of Seneca Castle, NY; and Linda (Jerry) Heusler of Penn Yan, NY; and eleven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. She loved visiting with her sisters and brothers. Bea is survived by her sisters Dottie Chambers and Rose Barrett, and her brother Donald (Marge) Heusler. Bea was predeceased in death by her sister Jean Kelly, and her brothers Frederick Heusler and Gerald Heusler.
Bea lived nearly all of her adult life on Electric Avenue in Rochester. She was a gracious hostess, whether it was chatting on her front proch, or serving wonderful meals for her family. She attended Geneva schools, and was most proud of her work as a pediatric nurse's aid at Strong Memorial Hospital. She played contract bridge with her husband at Kodak for many years, and they made many good friends. Since 2005, Bea lived at Aaron Manor in Fairport, where she was surrounded by loving care for which her family will be forever grateful. A memorial service is planned for Friday, June 20th at 11:00 a.m. at New Corner Funeral Home at 2636 Ridgeway Avenue in Rochester. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to a charity of choice or to Lifetime Care Hospice, who lovingly cared for Bea.
