Bea Ferrell entered the arms of Jesus on October 1, 2026 at the age of 97. Beatrice was born in Peach Orchard, Arkansas to the parents of Perry and Alice Molencupp. A long time member of First Baptist Church of O'Fallon, Bea taught Sunday school in the beginning years of the church.

Bea began life in Arkansas with many brothers and sisters during the depression and life was difficult.

Graduating from high school in 1948 Bea moved to St Louis for employment. Bea met Dalton in St. Louis where they married in 1950. A few years later they moved to O'Fallon, Missouri. They were married for 58 years. Bea and Dalton had two daughters.

Bea worked for Monsanto in St Peters, Missouri for 20 years and then retired. Bea had a strong commitment to her family and faith all of her life, and was never afraid to share her faith with others.

Bea is survived by one sister, Alice of O'Fallon, her two daughters Joan of Creve Coeur and Judy of O'Fallon, Missouri. Furthermore, two grandchildren Melanie of St. Louis, and Alanna of Saint Charles. Additionally, three great grandchildren, sons-in-law, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband in 2008 and many siblings over the years.

God has always blessed and provided for her over her many years. Bea is now reunited in Heaven with her husband, parents, siblings and friends!
