Beatrice (Bea) May Angelina Parkes (nee Morgan) was born in Iraq on July 14, 1931, then moved with her family to Eltham, London, England in 1934. She took a leap of faith for her true love, and emigrated to Canada in 1954 to join James (Jim) Parkes in Toronto, Ontario, married in 1955 until his death in 1987.
Her “Three Girls” as she would like to say: Kathryn (Sean Russell) of Toronto/Collingwood, Lorinda (Kent Bourn) of Hurst, Texas; and Gwyneth Boddy (deceased, 2024) of Airdrie, Alberta were the center of her universe, and she showered them with boundless love and encouragement. One of Bea’s greatest joys was being a Nana to her grandchildren: Julie Russell (Adam Gingrich); Timothy Russell (Miranda Cunningham); Matthew and Mason Bourn; and Dani Boddy. She was also a doting Great Nana to Cade Gingrich (9 months).
In Etobicoke, Bea led the Our Lady of Sorrow Swim Team to many impressive titles, incredibly only learning to swim herself as an adult then earning her Bronze Medallion certification. Her family celebrated proudly when Bea successfully earned her B.A. at age 53 after 15 years of part-time studies! Active since 1980 in Kleinburg village life; with the apple pie booth at Binder Twine Festival, choir at St. Padre Pio Church, the United Church Women’s organization, book clubs at the library and friendly bridge.
Bea loved exploring the outdoors from canoe tripping down the Grand Canyon, hiking New Zealand and strolling through the Bruce Trail. We will think of her when we are in nature. Bea had a quick wit and knack for games – beating many opponents at Rummikub over the years.
While her departure brings immeasurable sorrow, we choose to remember Bea for the extraordinary person she was— a loving wife, cherished mother, sister to five siblings (notably Alex Hatfield of Kleinburg, Ontario), proud grandmother and auntie to the Parkes and Morgan families in the UK and beyond.
All are welcome to join the family as we celebrate Bea at the Funeral Mass held in St. Padre Pio Church, 5500 Major Mackenzie Drive W., Kleinburg on Wednesday morning, February 26th at 11 o’clock.
Interment Nashville Cemetery, 10445 Huntington Road, Kleinburg.
Following the interment a reception will be held at the Egan Funeral Home, 203 Queen Street S. (Hwy 50), Bolton (905-857-2213).
