Beatrice’s legacy will be remembered mostly by the love she showed to her family and others. She enjoyed cooking, attending church, and communicating with family and friends.

She accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized under the leadership of Rev D.D. Dorsey. She was a faithful member of the Jerusalem Baptist Church where she served as an Usher, Treasurer, and Secretary for many decades. Before her health began to fail she served as Treasurer under the leadership of her current Pastor, Rev. Eddie Chatmon Sr.

She leaves to cherish her precious memories: one daughter, Sharon Freeman Staten of Houston, TX. Four sons: Willie James Freeman (Linda) of Milwaukee, WI, Charles Earl Freeman and Bobby Freeman both of Start, La, and Marvin Freeman of Chicago, IL; one sister, Vivian Freeman of Fresno, TX; six grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren; two great, great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.

Beatrice was like a second mother to Diane, Clarence, Denita, and Ricco Freeman.
