Beatrice Ann
Talbot, age 71, of Waupaca, WI, formerly of Weyauwega, passed away peacefully
at her home on Friday, May 2, 2014.
She was born on June 5, 1942 in Chicago the
second of three daughters to Steven and Ella (Koskie) Grishow. Bea attended and
graduated from St. Anthony de Padua School of Nursing in Chicago, IL. On
October 8, 1964 Bea was united in marriage to Harold E. Talbot and to this
union two children were born. Harold preceded Bea in death on April 17th, 1987.
Bea and her husband resided in Schiller Park, IL before relocating to Weyauwega
in 1975. A few years following the passing of her husband, Bea relocated to
Waupaca, where she had resided ever since. Bea’s proud career in nursing
spanned over five decades with the majority of those years spent at the
Wisconsin Veterans Home in King. Almost immediately following her retirement
from the Veterans Home, Bea began working at Bethany Pines in Waupaca where the
residents weren’t just residents, they were her friends. Bea was very
passionate about nursing, especially for the elderly. Quite simply the only
thing greater than her passion for nursing was the compassion she had for every
resident under her care…and expected nothing less from those working with her.
Bea enjoyed both gardening and crocheting. She always seemed to find time to
crochet an afghan for most everyone in the family, treasured by all who
received them. She loved just sitting at her kitchen table with friends and
family, chatting over a cup of coffee and treats. Bea will be remembered as a
lady who didn’t seem to know the word “no”, she would always put the needs of
others, whether you were family or friend, before her own and, of course, her
loving tendency to be somewhat stalwart. Bea had a true humane heart for all
the dogs she had cared for in her life, lastly her faithful companion Charlie.
Bea beamed with pride of her children, being so supportive as they became
adults with their careers. It was no secret that the two most special gifts she
ever received were her two precious grandchildren and was proud to be their
“nanie”.
Bea will be forever in the hearts of her daughter Cindy (David)
Westenberg of Oconto, WI; son Rob (Betsey) Talbot of Alma, Wis; her two
precious grandchildren, Christy and Davey Westenberg; her two loving sisters,
Gale Ladubec of Weyauwega and Gwynn (Dick) Schroeder of Waupaca; nieces and
nephews: Steve, Don, Susan, Nancy, Mary Kay, Kent, Rhonda, Jeanne, Matt,
Vickie, Joyce, Sue and Jim; also by many other relatives and friends. Bea was
preceded in death by her parents, husband Harold, her brother-in-law, Albert
Ladubec and brother and sister in-law, Gerald and Bernice Talbot.

Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday May 8 at 11:00 a.m. at Ss.
