Obituary

Beatrice “Bea” Sisk went home to be with the LORD on July 2, 2021. In the presence of her daughter and surrounded by the love of her family, she took her last breath on earth while listening to “I Can Only Imagine”. Her work here completed, she is now with her Mom and Dad, Walter and Earline Vincent (Coleman); Son, Thomas D Root, Jr.; Siblings, Wilma Jean Craft, Shirley Ann Brown, Ivy Mae Salmon, and James Wilfred Craft, and of course her LORD and Savior, Christ Jesus in Heaven above.

She married the love of her life, Stanley C. Sisk, Sr, on May 4, 1978. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends, gazing at the beauty of nature, the outdoors, and spending as much time as she could with her "Stanny" at their "Sugar Shack". Bea loved to read (she always had a book nearby). She loved animals, her "oldies", dancing, and always--ALWAYS-- beat everyone at dice.

Born in Evansville, IN on March 21, 1954, she was raised and lived in LIncoln. She spent her last seven months in St. John's, Florida fighting the cancer battle with every ounce of her being. Determined and stubborn, she never gave up on anyone or anything.

Leaving behind her children: Kelly Root (Stacy), Newton, IA; Darla Upton (MIchael), St. John's, FL; Annette Veech, Lincoln, and Stanley "Bub" Sisk, Jr. (Carey), Cottage HIll, fifteen grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and two more great-grandchildren on the way. She also leaves behind her siblings: Tom Vincent (Kathy), Lincoln, Donna Budd, Camano Island, WA and Maurice Craft (Diane), Bowling Green, KY.

Bea praised and worshipped God at Open Arms Christian Fellowship.
