It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Wilma Jean Bew, who tenderly departed this world on June 28, 2022, at the age of 79. Wilma was born on December 12, 1942, in the warm embrace of Henrico, Virginia, a place she cherished deeply throughout her life. Her departure was as gentle as her spirit, as she passed peacefully in her sleep. Wilma's life was a tapestry of love, laughter, and resilience. She shared many memorable years with her beloved husband, Gene Bew, who preceded her in death. Together, they built a home filled with warmth and joy, creating a legacy of love that continues to flourish through their family. A devoted mother, Wilma is survived by her cherished son, Kenneth Bew, who carries forward the values she instilled. Her legacy is further enriched by her loving grandchildren—Kathryn Bew, Kenneth Bew, and Austin Bew—and one additional grandchild, all of whom inherited her unique blend of humor, intelligence, and strength. Wilma was also blessed with one great-grandchild, a light in her life that she adored immensely. Wilma's essence was one of authenticity and compassion. She was a woman of remarkable character, known for her quick wit, brilliant mind, and generous heart. Her laughter was infectious, and her joy was a beacon that illuminated the lives of those around her. Never one to shy away from expressing her thoughts, Wilma's honesty and courage were qualities admired by all who knew her. Cooking was one of Wilma's great passions, and her kitchen was a haven of delicious aromas and hearty meals. She had an unparalleled ability to bring people together around her table, where stories were shared, and bonds were strengthened. Her spirit of giving extended beyond her culinary talents, as she was always eager to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Wilma was truly unique, a vibrant soul who embraced life with open arms and loved with all her heart. She leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and kindness—a testament to the remarkable woman she was. Her family would like to express their deepest gratitude to all who have extended their condolences and support during this difficult time. Wilma's life will be celebrated in a private ceremony, where her family will gather to honor and cherish the memories of a life well-lived. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Wilma's honor to a charity of one's choice, as a tribute to her generous spirit and enduring compassion. Wilma Jean Bew will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, a constant reminder of the love and joy she brought into the world. May she rest in eternal peace.
