Beatrice “Bea” Alford passed from this life into Heaven on October 21, 2015. She was born on July 11, 1930 to L. C. and Polly Wolverton in Damascus, Mississippi and grew up in the Demascus-Sebastapol area. She attended school there and later moved to Jackson where she married James Richard Alford. They were married over 50 years when he preceded her in death in 2007. She was also preceded in death by both parents.
She attended cosmetology school at Fritz-Marinello in Jackson in the 1950’s and was a cosmetologist and an instructor at Jackson Academy, Cox Beauty School and in Carthage, Mississippi for many years. She later worked for Deposit Guaranty Parking Garage in downtown Jackson.
She is survived by her daughters, Polly Hughes (her rock) and Nancy Alford (the worry-wart) and her favorite son-in-law, David Ray Hughes as well as one sister, Alice Holley of Clinton and several nieces and nephews. No one could have asked for a better son-in-law. She also leaves two grandchildren, Michael and Denise Hughes, granddaughter-in-law, Misty Hughes, mother of her beautiful great-granddaughters, Summer and Baylee, whom she loved dearly and one great-grandson, Hunter Sims.
Bea attended Wells Memorial Methodist Church for the past few years and loved every minute of it and her wonderful pastor, Keith Tonkel, and the loving congregation. WellsFest was one of her favorite things each year.
Bea always said just what was on her mind, no matter who was around and whether they liked it or not.
She will be deeply missed and loved forever.
