Beatrice Forrester Whitfield, age 94, of Anderson, SC, passed away Wednesday, May 10, 2023, at NHC Healthcare Anderson. Born July 22, 1928, in Anderson, she was the daughter of the late Carlton B. Forrester and Mamie Sanders Forrester Hilley. She was married to John Henry Whitfield until his death in 2014. She was also preceded in death by grandson, Michael Poore; brothers Paul and Carlton Forrester; and sisters, Frances Adams and Mary Ellen Mullinax. Bea retired from Ryobi with over 30 years of service to the company. She cherished her friends and family and liked to keep up with what was happening in their lives. Her family would jokingly say she was nosy! She was a faithful member of Temple Baptist Church as long as her health permitted. Her family will remember her as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend who enjoyed taking care of everyone. She is survived by her daughter, Linda Poore (Larry); grandchildren, Matthew Poore (Kimberly) and Donna Garrison (Gregg); great grandchildren, Austin and Caleb Poore and Haley Queen (Hunter); and her beloved nieces and nephews. A cryptside service will be held Saturday, May 13, 2023 at 2:30 pm at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Mausoleum Remembrance II Chapel with Dr. Mark Pollard officiating. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 1:00-2:00 pm at The McDougald Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Caris Hospice, 129 Straight Dr., Anderson, SC 29621. The family would like to thank the staff and residents of NHC Healthcare Anderson and Caris Hospice for the love and care provided to Bea.
