Bea was a talented seamstress, enjoyed Giants and A's baseball and traveling to Half Moon Bay to visit family. She had a knack for planning special events that were extremely memorable, especially her fabulous Christmas parties at the ranch, which always included a visit from Santa arriving in a helicopter distributing candy canes to everyone. She created Christmas aprons for family members who participated as Santa's helpers for this event. Bea's life always revolved around her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She always took time to have lunch dates with her kids and attend many sporting events supporting her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her unconditional love for her family never went unnoticed. P.L. Fry & Son is honored to be serving the Cardoza family. Due to COVID-19 all services are being held private.
