Barbara H. Beimford
March 6, 1929 - April 27, 2018
Barbara Hepting Beimford age 89, of Hamilton, died peacefully April 27th in her home, surrounded by her family and caregivers. She was born and lived her entire life in Hamilton, Ohio, while traveling frequently to visit family and friends, and to see the world. She was a graduate of Hamilton High School and Saint Mary’s College, Class of 1951. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 58 years, Louis A. Beimford, her dear sister and fellow mischief-maker, Rosemary Hepting Duggan, and her niece, and partner in crime, Barbara Duggan. She was married in 1951 and had two sons, Peter Beimford of Lakebay, Washington, and James Beimford of Wellesley, Massachusetts. She leaves behind her two sons, her loving daughters–in-law, Kristine and Jamie, and her grandchildren, Caroline, Andy, and Madeleine. Aunt Barb will also be missed by her niece, Megan Duggan Massey, and nephews Patrick and Kevin Duggan and their families. She was a regular visitor on holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and summer vacations, and brought fun, laughter and games wherever she went. Barbara was known as a woman of good humor and whimsy. She was the instigator of many trips abroad as well as family vacations to ranches, battlegrounds, and sites of great personal interest like the Hershey Chocolate Factory. Beyond travel, she was an accomplished ceramicist, athlete, and baker, and she nurtured a lifelong love and respect for animals, who were never without a warm pat on the head and a treat. On behalf of the Beimford family we would like to thank Margaret Haguewood and Sheila Griffin for helping to make Mom’s later years peaceful and serene. A funeral blessing will take place at the Weigel Funeral Home, 980 N.W. Washington Blvd., Hamilton, on Monday, April 30, 2018 at 2:00 pm, followed by a private interment at St. Stephen Cemetery. Visitation will be from 1:30pm until time of the services. In lieu of flowers, any donations may be made to the Heifer Project. Online condolences are available at www.weigelfuneralhome.com
