Obituary of Beatrice Grace McLaughlan

Beatrice (Bea) Grace McLaughlan left this world peacefully while in the loving care of the staff at the Long Lake Valley Integrated Facility at Imperial Saskatchewan.

Bea was born in to the large Hannant family at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Regina on October 9, 1943. She grew up in Pense, SK and moved to Regina as a teenager. Bea met her future husband and life-long partner Hugh (Scottie) while working near Outlook, SK in 1960/61. She and Hugh were married in October of 1962 and subsequently moved to the Grand Coulee, SK area to work on the Heenan farm. Bea and Hugh lived on the farm for the next 37+ years raising two boys, Hugh and Tom.

Bea and Hugh moved to Regina in 2000 and they resided in the Cathedral area. Bea lost the love of her life in March 2009 and remained in the Cathedral area until early 2019 when she moved into care. The next two plus years were difficult for her health wise until she finally succumbed to the effects of advanced dementia on the morning of December 16, 2021.

Bea was passionate about many things; her family; gardening; the outdoors; church; and community, but mostly Bea loved people. She loved telling her stories and chatting to anyone with a friendly face or a smile. Bea brightened the day of many with her frequent visits around her home in Cathedral.

She was loved and will be missed by many friends and family including brothers and sisters; cousins; nieces; and nephews (great and great-great) here in Canada and abroad in the UK. Bea received visits from all her grandsons, Alexander (from Victoria), Ashton (from Vancouver), Brennan (from Regina), and her great-grandson Kylo (from Vancouver), this past summer and fall.

Bea will now rest in peace, reunited with her best love in whatever paradise lies after this life.

A come and go reception to celebrate Beatrice's life will be held at the Royal Hotel (formerly the West Harvest Inn) 4025 Albert Street, Regina SK. on Saturday, January 22, 2022 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
