Beatrice 'Bea' Seaver

Beatrice "Bea" Seaver, 92, died Sunday, February 28, 2016, at the Worland Healthcare and Rehab Center.

Born August 2, 1922, in Muskogee, Okla., she was the daughter of Hugh and Ellen (Stubblefield) Hall. She graduated from Achille High School in Oklahoma and attended the Indian Girls College in Durant.

In 1950, she married Hugh Walton Seaver in Alameda, Calif., where they lived for many years. Moving to Jackson Hole, Wyo., they owned and operated a campground. Proud of her Indian heritage, Bea was adept at purchasing jewelry and textiles from reservations in New Mexico and Arizona, which, in turn, were sold as part of their business. In the 1980s, the couple moved to Thermopolis where Bea often assisted her husband and partners in the operation of Copper Mountain Car Sales.  

Her interests included Japanese flower arranging, sewing, especially making cowboy shirts for her husband, and cooking. A quiet woman, she was supportive of whatever her husband chose to endeavor. 

She is survived by her daughters, Ellen Sue (Rex) Blakey of Thermopolis and Glenna Li of Irvine, Calif .; granddaughters, Tiana Smith Claypool, Natasha Li Moradian and Talia Li; and 2 great-granddaughters, Isabel and Jerica Claypool.

She was preceded in death by her husband in 1997; and one brother, Hugh Hall.  

Cremation has taken place and no services are planned at this time. Memorials may be made to Hot Springs Greater Learning Foundation, PO Box 1362, Thermopolis WY 82443.
