Beatrice Vondell "Miss Bea" Hamula, 88, of Ardmore, Oklahoma and formerly of Lawton, Oklahoma passed away peacefully, Tuesday, February 4, 2025 in Ardmore, Oklahoma. She was born April 3, 1936 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania to Raymond Patrick and Florence M. (Shoemaker) Silk. Beatrice married Frank Hamula on October 1, 1952 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Frank passed away January 31, 2010.

Beatrice was a devoted Christian who deeply loved Jesus Christ and her church, First Baptist West. Her faith was the foundation of her life, and she expressed it through kindness, service, and heartfelt connections with others. She cherished her family and found joy in creating handmade cards, each adorned with uplifting Christian messages to inspire and encourage those around her.

Miss Bea was an active member of a Bible study group called The Seekers, a community that held a special place in her heart. The group met at Cache School before the start of the school day, and with unwavering dedication, Miss Bea walked from her home in Indiahoma to Cache for each gathering. It was among these students that she lovingly earned the name "Miss Bea," a testament to the warmth and wisdom she shared with all who knew her.

Her faith, love, and devotion to others will be remembered always.

Beatrice is survived by her six children, one daughter, Barbara and Larry Bralley of Ardmore, Oklahoma, five sons, John Hamula and wife Toni of Amarillo, Texas, Burt Hamula of Mead, Oklahoma, William Hamula and wife Joy of Norman, Oklahoma, Clifford Hamula of Amarillo, Texas, Frank C. Hamula and wife Priscilla of Wanette, Oklahoma, nine grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, three great great grandchildren, one sister, Clare Silk of Mineral Point, Pennsylvania, one brother, David Silk of North Brunswick, New Jersey, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Beatrice is preceded in death by her parents, husband, one son, Edward Hamula, granddaughter, Stephie Beatrice Rose Hamula, one grandson, Frank Allen Hamula, and other brothers and sisters.

The family would like to thank the staff at The Suites of Elmbrook in Ardmore, Oklahoma for their special care of Beatrice and to the nursing staff at Mercy Hospital in Ardmore, Oklahoma.
