Beatrice E. “Bea” Moss

Bea Moss, 93, Raytown, MO went home to the Lord on March 3, 2012.  A visitation will be held from 10-11 AM, Friday, March 9, 2012 at St. Bernadette’s Catholic Church, 9020 E. 51st Terr., Kansas City, MO 64133. A mass will follow at 11 AM.  Bea was born in St. Joseph, TN on September 14, 1918 to Louis and Catherine Bernauer.  She spent most of her life in the Kansas City area. She was preceded in death by her parents, a son, Mark Moss, 2 sisters, and 2 brothers.  Bea leaves behind 5 children, Elizabeth Davis (Dave Caldwell), Judy Hayes (Jim), Alan Moss (Sue), Debbie McKinzey, and John Moss (Rose) all of the Kansas City area. Also surviving her are a brother Jerome Bernauer, 8 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and a great-great-granddaughter.

Bea was a loving mother of 6 children, as well as an active partner in Moss Magnavox. She was a member of St. Bernadette’s Catholic Church. Her Catholic faith and her family were the most important things to her. Bea will be remembered for her resilience, strength, sense of humor, her faith in Christ, and her love of family.  In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be made to a charity of your choice in Bea’s name. The family would also like to extend a special thank you to Kansas City Hospice and the staff at Hidden Lake Care Center.

    Gosh Bill, life is so precious as we live out the days. Seems there are people we love and enjoy in our lives, thinking they will always be there for us. Then they just get all used up and go away, never to return. I had people tell me when I have lost a loved one or close friend, that they understand just what I am going thru and how I feel. That just is not so. The emptiness, the loss, and lack of ever communicating with them again seems to push home an important point. If you love someone tell them, don’t miss an opportunity to give them hug, if you think someone is a wonderful part of your life, let them know it. For as the poet say’s it best with his words. The clock of life is wound only once, and when it will stops no one really know. So live each day to it’s fullest.

    May God’s peace be with you and the family at this time of your loss, and may His arms receive the soul of Bea, your loved one.

    Pat & Peggy Smith
