Beatrice A. Lapping was born April 9, 1912 in Rose Township, Ramsey Co., Minnesota. She graduated from St. Lawrence Grade School, S.E. Mpls., in 1926, attended Minneapolis Vocational High School and at age 16 began her work life as a stenographer, bookkeeper and legal secretary. Included among her later employers was Schmitt Music, where she gave lessons on the Hammond Organ.

On October 29, 1948, Bea married Burton H. Johnston. She and Burt remained at the Lapping family home to care for Bee's parents until their deaths in the 1960s. After Burt's retirement, they spent summers fishing, gardening and picking berries for jam on the shores of Lake Superior. Although Burt and Bee had no children, they welcomed generations of friends, relatives and children into their home, entertaining on the organ and saxophone, always sharing wonderful home-cooked meals including her famous potato salad, baked beans, and German kuchen. Her baking was renown. Annual bake sales at St. Lawrence Church had lookouts announcing her arrival to lines of expectant customers. A tin of dainty shortbread Christmas cookies always accompanied visitors as they left her house at Christmastime.

Her caring spirit and loving smile made her a treasure to us all. Bee proudly lived in her childhood home nearly all her life. After Burt's death in 2005, with the help of family and friends, she remained there alone until age 100, and then moved to Catholic Eldercare in N.E. Minneapolis. Bee is survived by many Lapping, Marrin, Berg and Johnston nephews and nieces, Mayer cousins and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Jasper and Adelaide (Mayer) Lapping; husband, Burt; brothers, Edwin and Bennett; sisters Geraldine Marrin and Marjorie Berg; nephew Richard Lapping; and great-nephew, William Lapping.
