My grandma Beatriz was a wonder to everyone that met her. The sweetest soul, a diva, fashion queen, and a devoted follower of Christ. Doctors told her she wouldn’t live past her twenties, but she proved them wrong and lived over 50 more incredible years.
She immigrated from Medellín, Colombia to Los Angeles, and spent her final years in Long Beach, California. Beatriz had health issues her whole life, but was still a strong woman. A fun woman. A God-fearing woman. She lived fully – dancing, traveling, worshipping, and building a life with community and joy. She leaves behind a beautiful daughter and two granddaughters, all of whom she lovingly helped raise. We already miss her so so much.
Although Bee had been preparing for this moment, it still came sooner than expected. We are now left to complete the arrangements she began. As many know, funeral and memorial services are incredibly expensive. Our family is doing everything we can, but, transparently, we are financially tight and humbly asking for support from friends, loved ones, and our community. No matter how little she had, Beatriz always gave back to her community. Though we’ve suffered a tragic loss, we also want to give something back to the community in raising funds. That’s why we’re holding a DONATION-BASED COMMUNITY GIVEAWAY in her honor.
GIVEAWAY DETAILS:
Our DONATION-BASED giveaway is built upon love, prayer, and community. Prizes range from local services, to handcrafted goods, and more. When you make a donation, enter your information, and enter a valid EMAIL today, you will be automatically entered into the giveaway. All names from donations received before July 1st at 11:59pm PST will be counted towards the giveaway. Winners will be chosen on Beatriz’s birthday: July 2nd, 2025. For legal reasons, we must state that this is not a raffle. Donation is not required to enter the giveaway (see link below), but is STRONGLY appreciated as the funds will be used for the services. All funds raised go directly toward funeral, memorial, and related family expenses. Donations will still be accepted after the giveaway closes.
