Beatrice Ellen Hawk, 65, peacefully returned home to her loving Heavenly Father on January 12, 2007 after a long courageous battle for life. Bea was born on February 18, 1941, in Nevada, Missouri, to Ida Louise Sharp and Claude Uel McHenry. She attended Granite High School. Bea married in the Salt Lake Temple and raised four children. She was a faithful member of the LDS Church. She lovingly provided daycare in her home for many children, including grandchildren, nieces and nephews. As an avid bowler, she loved the games with her friends and family. She was cheerful and kind, loved by all who knew her, and always there anytime we needed her.
Bea is survived by her children: Tammy (Scott) Morrey, Eddie (Linda) Smith, Kimberlee Smith, Cody (Stephanie) Smith; seven grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren; her brothers and sisters: Ordie Hogsett, Virginia Hampton, Edward McHenry, Carl McHenry and Wilma Leikam.
