In addition to her parents, Aunt Beanie was also preceded in death by her husband Ron Althouse, her brother, Charles “Bo” Scott and her sister Judy Lucas.

In keeping with her wishes, “Aunt Beanie” is to be buried alongside of her parents, during a private service, in Union Cemetery at St. Clairsville. The Linn-Hert-Geib Funeral Home in New Philadelphia is handling the arrangements.
