Our Dear Mother!

Nora Beatrice Wilson, born to Mother, Virginia Mitchell (non deceased) and father, Mr. Clark (deceased prior to her birth), was born in Tampa, Florida on September 17, 1927, as a healthy baby girl.

As a child, Beatrice attended the Tampa School system and as an adult, graduated from Lehman College with her Bachelor's degree and then went on to attain her Associates of Theology in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Ms. Bea, which she was called, retired from the NYC Housing Authority. As the manager of The St. Mary's Houses, she established a harmonious environment for hundreds of residents successfully.

Her journey also fought breast cancer, two heart attacks and a stroke, but later on Alzheimer's devastated her memory.  With God as her eyes and ears, she always walked with Him through it all. Always with praises for God, whom she loved with all her being. She always had one request from God, "May I die peacefully in my sleep?" Which he granted.

Our Mother died peacefully in her sleep on February 23, 2020 at 11:08pm.
