I worked with Beanie at the Museum of Western Art. We had a lot of fun there in the gift shop. She was a pistol! She will be missed.

She was a very sweet lady. I knew her from the vet clinic and the thrift shop. My thoughts go out to her family and friends.

My wife and I knew Beanie through the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Kerrville, and we will miss her friendship and her participation in our Fellowship lives together. We are thankful that we were able to visit with her one last time and meet Sharon and Pepper. Our hearts are with all of her family, and we hope that knowing your sorrow is shared will somehow lighten your load. We plan to make a gift to the Kathleen Cailloux Humane Society in her name since we know that she cared deeply about animals. She was a caring and kind person who will be missed by her many friends including us.
