"Hello Carl, I’m so sorry to learn of Bea’s passing. She was so much fun to travel with. I’ll never forget her fascination with the hillsides of yellow flowers in New Zealand as we rode the train. How many pictures of them?! You were great traveling companions in Brazil and the Baltic countries as well. I didn’t realize you have been to 60 countries. What wonderful memories you must have! I’ve missed seeing you both at our meetings. My condolences to you and your family. Peace be with you. Marian Sparks"
In loving memory of
Beatrice Mohr
Beatrice (Bea) Mohr, 82, of Phoenix, AZ died Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at Beatitudes Care Center, Phoenix, AZ. Bea was born on January 5, 1930 to Axel and Olive Johnson in Warren, MN. Bea spent her childhood in Brainerd, MN where she graduated from Brainerd High School. She received her Associate’s Degree from Brainerd Junior College and also attended University of Minnesota where she was certified as an X-Ray technician.

Collins, CO where they lived for 17 years. In 2009, Bea and Carl moved to Phoenix, AZ to live at the Beatitudes campus. Although, Bea was involved in many volunteer activities, her true passion was in the area of Christian Education serving several congregations throughout her husband’s ministerial career. Bea and Carl loved to travel - they visited 60 countries and all 50 U.S. States. Bea was always thankful for the many friendships she formed over the years.
