Mrs. Beatrice O'Guin Jones, after 89 seasons, "dozed from earth to everlasting" on Friday night, October 8, 2010 in Tulsa.

A precious gift from God, Beatrice arrived on June 19, 1921 in Idabel, Oklahoma from the loving union of Henry and Lucy Goodloe. She was the youngest of nine children.

At the tender age of 14, the family moved to Okmulgee, Oklahoma, where she was educated at Northwest School.

Beatrice met and married Isaac O'Guin and their union was blessed with nine children. After Mr. O'Guin's death, she later married Glasco Jones, who also preceded her in death.
