(October 16, 1931 – December 18, 2020)
Barbara Louise Spell Bean went to be with Our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus on Friday December 18, 2020 in San Antonio, Texas. The greatest thing we can say about our mother is that she believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, and exercised her faith literally until the day she died. Barbara prayed daily, read her Bible daily until she could no longer, prayed, and enjoyed fellowship with the Body of Christ. Her faith was passed on to all three of her daughters, and we are so happy to say we are of the family of faith.
