Beatrice was born in Simpson, Pa., on April 2, 1927, and died Friday, Dec. 5, 2014.
Following graduation from Scranton State Hospital Nursing, she worked at Cornell Medical Center in New York City. While there, she attended Hunter College and art classes at several museums. After two years, she joined the USAF and became a flight nurse. Upon completing her flight tour, she was sent on special assignment to care for the chief of staff for the USAF, Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg, at Walter Reed Army Hospital, during his terminal illness. At this time, she met many prominent visitors to the general including war-time colleague and commander, President and Mrs. Eisenhower.
Her next assignment was to the USAF Hospital in Wiesbaden, Germany, where she met and later married Dr. Barton Carl.
After his tour, they moved to Oklahoma City for the completion of his training, where they have lived for the last 55 years.
Bea worked at the VA Hospital and University Hospital. She loved to work and was later associated with Owen’s Art Gallery, the Cowboy Hall of Fame, Ruth Meyers Inc. and lastly, Stein Mart. She loved her jobs and the very many friends she made.
Other interests were sewing, embroidery, quilting, crossword puzzles, light gardening and reading. She especially liked physical exercise: walking, aerobics and playing tennis, which she did until she was 78. She enjoyed the Revidere Book Club and the Margharitas, a retired ladies tennis group.
She is survived by her husband, Barton of 56 years; two sons, Peter and wife Ginny and her children, Collin and Rachael, and John and wife Kathy, and their two sons, which she adored, Andrew and William; two sisters, Ruth Koop of San Jose, Calif., and Virginia Snedeker of Florida; as well as Penny, the chocolate Labrador rescue dog.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Westminster Presbyterian Church with Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home, 601 W. Broadway, Enid, Okla., acting as custodian of the funds.
