Beatrice Leottia Koehler, age 82, passed away Monday, June 17, 2024. After leaving her home state of Indiana, Bea led a full life within the states of California, Nevada, Montana, and eventually New Jersey as a loving wife, mother, grandma, and great grandma. She adored her family, thrived on helping others, enjoyed laughter, and loved the mountains and snow in Montana.
Bea’s loving memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of her surviving son Chet and his wife Teri Koehler of Nevada, daughter Frankie and her husband Jim Dowd of Utah, daughter Dayna and her husband Keith Moriarty of New Jersey, sister Barbara Pittman of Indiana, six grandsons (Brett Koehler, Bryce Dowd, Kyle Moriarty, Travis Dowd, Brandon Koehler, and Logan Moriarty), and six beautiful great grandchildren (Amata Moriarty, Abigail Dowd, Rafael Moriarty, Salem Dowd, Aura Koehler, and Joan Moriarty).
Bea was preceded in death by her devoted husband Donald Koehler, brother Joe Wheeler, sister Bettie Thomas, sister Beverly Watkins, mother Leottia Mae Wheeler, father Ernest Wheeler, and great granddaughter Verity Aurora Koehler.
Our loving mom, grandma and great grandma’s beautiful blue eyes, warm heart, and quirky sayings will be forever treasured. Soon, Beatrice will lay in rest alongside her U.S. Marine Corps husband, Donald, at the Veterans Cemetery in Boulder City, NV.
