Beatrice W. Kimball

Beatrice Kimball of Milford, New Hampshire, was born in Concord, Massachusetts, on August 23, 1941, and passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on July 21, 2025, after a period of declining health. She was a loving and devoted wife and mother to her five children. Her kindness, warm heart, and generosity filled their home and touched everyone she met. Beatrice was an avid craftsperson who became an expert in crafting. She took time to pass her knowledge on to many appreciative individuals by sponsoring craft-making workshops and giving classes on her various skills. Beatrice retired from the Town of Milford, where she served as the Assessor's Secretary for 24 years.

Beatrice, affectionately known as "Bea," is preceded in death by her daughter Debra Kimball, her brother Robert Kilerby, her sister Julia Brown, and her parents Frederick and Josephine Kilerby. She is survived by her devoted husband, Frederick W. Kimball of Milford, New Hampshire, just one month shy of their sixty-ninth wedding anniversary. She leaves behind four children, a son-in-law, and three daughters-in-law: Kevin and Rose Kimball of Bedford, New Hampshire; Fred Jr. and Luiza Kimball of Brazil; Valerie and Stewart Garner of Saint Petersburg, Florida; and Scott and Phoebe Kimball of Milford, New Hampshire. Beatrice is also survived by four granddaughters—Mellisa, Tyssa, Allison, and Casey—and four great-grandchildren.

A private service and celebration of Bea’s life will be held in Milford.
