Bea Kartenson, 86, passed away on January 5th, 2014, at her home in Fargo, North 
Dakota. Beatrice Elaine Jones was born on July 22nd, 1927 to Frank and Grace (Gold) 
Jones at St. John's Hospital in Fargo, and graduated from Fargo Central High School 
in 1945.

Bea met Gordon Kartenson in the fall of 1945 when they were both attending NDAC 
(NDSU). She later worked in the radiology Department of St. John's and St. Luke's 
hospitals. On October 14th, 1950, Bea and Gordon were married at Plymouth 
Congregational Church in Fargo and made their home in North Fargo where they raised 
their children Barry, Bruce, Cynthia, and Brian.

Bea was a fun loving and generous person. She enjoyed cooking for family get-
togethers and hosting parties for their many friends. Bea was an active member of 
Plymouth Congregational Church and served on many committees, participated in 
various women's fellowship groups as well as singing in the choir for over 35 years. 
She loved singing and participated in several church and El Zagel Shrine musicals 
and shows. She was an excellent seamstress and received many compliments on the 
clothing she made for herself and her family. Bea belonged to several clubs and 
organizations including PEO, the music section of the Fine Arts Club, and the women's 
auxiliary of the El Zagel Temple. She loved being outdoors and enjoyed working in her 
garden and sharing with her family and friends.

Bea and Gordon traveled the world together and enjoyed their winters spent in Desert 
Hot Springs, California, but Bea's favorite places were her home in Fargo and the 
Minnesota lake cabin, spending time with her family.

Beatrice was preceded in death by her three brothers, Vance, Kenneth and Frank, one 
sister, Margery, and two sons, Barry and Bruce.
