Bea Roller of Celina and Cleburne, Texas passed away on June 30, 2021 after battling cancer and dementia. She was born on August 16, 1939 to Fred Adophus and Elner (Calton) Biggs in Branch, Texas. Bea was a 1957 graduate of Plano High School. She worked for State Farm Insurance company immediately after high school and then as office manager for Dr. Glenn, Billy Don and Dr. Terry Mitchell of Mitchell Clinic and Maternity Hospital for 25 years. Bea continued in the medical field with Dr. Colin Stacy and later retired as a Collin County District Court clerk. She was very altruistic with family and friends in need. She also had a servant's heart as she provided hospitality and accommodations to ministers and international missionaries at her home. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Celina.

Bea was a caregiving wife to her paraplegic husband, John, for 33 years. She sold Avon products and earned many lovely Mrs. Albee award figurines. She enjoyed spirited canasta card games with family and friends. She was a fan of road trips, Dallas Cowboys, Mavericks, and the Texas Rangers. Bea was a person of strong faith, patriotic, fiercely protective of family, full of grace, generosity and kindness. Born from a large family, she was known as "Sis," "Aunt Sissy," "Grandmother," "Grammy," and "Heckity."

Our beloved Mom will be deeply missed by many who also called her "Sweet Bea."

Special thanks to Community Hospice of Cleburne and their excellent care from Vanessa, Cyndi, Gabby and Ciara.
