Beatrice R. Lynch Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

COLEBROOK -- Beatrice “Bea” R. Lynch, 95, of Colebrook, passed away at the Coös County Nursing Hospital in West Stewartstown on Tuesday morning, April 7, 2015, after a long period of declining health. She was born at home in Bloomfield, Vt., on Aug. 26, 1919, to the late Alfred and Alice (Clark) Fuller. Her mother died when she was only 3 years old, and her father and grandmother cared for her and her brother Everett “Mutt” until their father married Gertrude Sims, whose children were Hazel, Doris, and Claude Sims. After Gertrude died, Bea’s father married Gladys Raymond before Bea was married herself. She was known to houseclean as Gertie did “the old-fashioned way.” Music and rocking were passions she shared with her father and later passed on to others. She enjoyed scrapbooking and making gifts for people, including crocheted items, fudge, and cornballs. She always had a welcome smile for everyone. She leaves her daughter Sylvia Gilcris of Holyoke, Mass.; grandchildren Robyn and Alan Iserman, Ann-Marie and Kevin Malloy, all of Mass., and Christopher Gilcris and Amy Telford of NY. She also leaves her great-grandchildren Ashlyn, Kevin “Shane,” Matthew, Heather, Emma, Joey, and Charlotte. She was predeceased by her parents, step-mothers and their families; her brother Everett Fuller; her husband “Pat” Lynch; and beloved son-in-law, Roger Gilcris. There are no calling hours scheduled. A graveside interment will be held later in the spring at the Bloomfield Cemetery, of which notice will be given. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Mrs. Lynch may be made to Alzheimer’s Healthcare Services, 610 Sullivan St., Berlin, NH 03570.
