With sadness, we announce the passing of Bea Parkes at 琉璃神社 General Hospital on April 7, 2017 at the age of 89.

Bea will be lovingly remembered by 13 nephews and nieces; one (unofficially) adopted daughter; and her beloved companion 鈥� her dog Bobbi. She was predeceased by her husband of 48 years, Bob, in 1996; her parents John and Anna; her brother John; sisters Betty and Anna; and her niece Colleen.

Bea was a hairstylist her whole life, owning LaVogue Beauty Salon, Hi Fashion, and the Pink Room Beauty Salon.

Bea and Bob built and ran the Rutland Tastee Freeze in 1968. After they sold the Tastee Freeze, she went back to her first passion 鈥� hairdressing, until she finally retired, at which time bridge became her passion.
