Beatrice Scott Richards went to be with the Lord on Thursday, July 2, 2009, at Methodist Hospital in Houston. Originally a resident of Corsicana, she came to live with her daughter in Angleton in May 2006.
Beatrice was born in Corsicana on Jan. 13, 1922, to Wilson and Dell Scott. She married Less Richards in 1937. They were married for 66 years until his death in 2004. She was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband, an infant daughter Paula, her brother Carl Scott, and son-in-law Dick Orand.
She is survived by her daughter, Reba Orand; son and daughter-in-law, James and Tina Richards; and seven grandchildren, Kelly Kohutek and husband Billy, Becky McGlaun and husband Jeff, David Richards, Karen Underwood, Michael Richards and wife Ann, Jason and Amy Bendy. Beatrice also leaves behind five great-grandchildren, Kaysie Oden and her husband Dustin, Stacey Kohutek, Tyler McGlaun, Joseph and James Richards; and two great-great-grandchildren, Reese and Jake Oden.
Beatrice received the Lord as her Savior when she was 11 years old at First Assembly of God Church. In March 2000, she became a member of Calvary Worship Center where Dr. Gary Johnson was her pastor until her move to Angleton in 2006. She became a member of and enjoyed fellowship with First Assembly of God Church in Angleton, with Mike Hammond as her pastor.
She worked at Adams Hat Factory, then at Corsicana State Home where she was a house parent supervisor, but her lifetime purpose was to serve her Lord and others. Beatrice was an excellent cook and used this gift to benefit her family and church by providing food for various church functions and ministries. Beatrice’s family will truly miss her wisdom and sweet and gentle spirit. One of her greatest gifts to us all was the legacy she left of being a selfless, servant of God who was committed to intercessory prayer for her family and friends. We are so grateful for the years that God allowed us to have her here with us.
Beatrice’s family will welcome visitors from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, July 5, at Corley Funeral Home.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. Monday, July 6, at Corley Funeral Chapel with Dr. Gary Johnson officiating. Interment will follow at Hamilton-Beeman Cemetery.
Pallbearers will be Jeff McGlaun, Tyler McGlaun, Billy Kohutek, Dustin Oden and David Richards.
