So sorry to hear that Bebe is gone from this earth. I will remember her as one of the Moms in our wonderful Hillcrest neighborhood growing up in the 50's, 60's & 70's and as a Delta Gamma sister. Always perfectly dressed with a beautiful home. Watch over us, Bebe. In the bonds, Sara Gillahan.

Mom had a very good life up until a few years ago, and even after she started failing, she was still pretty much herself.
