Professionally, Bea was a TV Actress who was best known for her role as feisty Maude Findlay on the American sitcoms All in the Family and Maude.
When she was not working as a TV Actress, Bea was known for her love of dog walking and she would spend a jiffy most Saturdays at it. Ms. Arthur (the deceased) also spent hours visiting with her older sister most Saturdays when she was able to spare a couple a jiffy. Ever since she was a girl in New York City, many remember Bea as a caring person with wonderful books that pleased everyone. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a sizable donation to the Heart Foundation in Bea's honor.
A somber party is scheduled for Wednesday the 29th at the undertaker's in New York City. The service will commence at 3PM with a reception to follow hosted by her older sister at the burial place where refreshments will be served. All are welcome to the visitation to be held at undertaker's at 4PM.
