Born in Montoursville, PA, Beatrice was the daughter of the late William Howard Swisher and the late Regina Louise (Wilcox) Kevin. She was a 1951 graduate of Hatfield Consolidated High School.

Beatrice dedicated many years of her life to caring for others. She worked as a cook for the North Penn School District and then for Carlisle Hospital in Carlisle, PA. She was also a longtime member and volunteer at Generations of Indian Valley in Souderton, where she served for 14 years.

Deeply committed to her community, Beatrice served as a Girl Scout leader for Troop #553 for 20 years, where she was affectionately known as "Aunt Bea." Her warmth and generosity touched many lives.

Beatrice had a wide array of hobbies and interests. She enjoyed sewing, quilting, crafts, making ceramic dolls, fishing, boating, reading, and taking bus trips with her husband. She also enjoyed water walking at the YMCA. Above all, she was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, known for her hardworking, selfless, and nurturing spirit.

She is survived by her loving husband, Harold; her two daughters, Cindy Graham and her companion, Dan Adleman of Hatfield, PA, and Carol Ann Graham and her husband, Donald Vennemann of Leonardtown, MD; her son, Scott H.
