ANGELL, Beatrice Lenorah Metz, our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and friend died peacefully August 16, 1997, at her home where she has resided since 1928. She was born January 6, 1901 in Parsons, W. Virginia, the 4th child of John and Agnes Metz. She was 96 1/2 years old, and had a full life. When she was six years old the family moved to Barton, New Mexico to homestead on 160 acres. This was a time of a lot of hard work, trials, and hardship, which she related to us through the years, and were fascinating stories. We all loved it when she shared her many memories, and the way she told them was wonderful. While recuperating from cancer surgery at age 55 she wrote her memoirs, which are truly fascinating. She was beautiful in appearance, but this beauty was surpassed by her love for her family and friends. She was always there for all of us, and shared our joys and problems. No matter what our problem, she listened and comforted and helped us through many difficult time. One grandson said "This is the end of an era", another "She was our rock, always solid and there for us". Her marriage was also solid, and she dearly loved her Jack (as she called him). They had four children, the oldest, Ruth, being killed in an auto accident in April of 1946. This tragedy was terrible for them to accept. She is survived by three children, all in Bellingham; Lois Metcalfe, Lee E. Angell, and Mary Lou Hepler; 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren. She was always small, but strong and stoic. She loved to garden, and had such a green thumb. She and Dad bought a small home on an acre of land on West Maplewood in 1928, and cleared, cultivated and planted a vast garden, orchard, berries, grapes, etc. Her nickname was often "The Bag Lady", as anyone visiting her place couldn't leave without a bag of garden items. She often canned 1400 quarts of fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, etc. After Dad died she continued to garden, and even this year, while sick, planted seven tomato plants. She loved the earth, and everyone on it. She was raised a Baptist, which greatly helped form her high ideals. She avidly followed the Golden Rule. Many remember her as the lady who forced herself to continue to walk to Albertsons with her cart for exercise; at age 94 mowing her own lawn; at age 95 finally agreeing to give up her coal and wood furnace in the basement for a gas furnace; some for her getting bored at home and taking the bus to town; and always wanting to be independent. She was very alert, and so much fun to be around. This beautiful lady will be greatly missed by all who ever knew her or met her. Private family graveside service was held at Greenacres Memorial Park. Arrangements by Jones-Moles Funeral Home & Cremation Service.
