Bea was an inspiration. It must be forty years since I first met her when she was on sabbatical in Melbourne. Despite our age difference we ‘clicked’ and enjoyed spending time together. We met again in 1988 when my mother, daughter and I stayed with Bea in Ruth’s house. Bea was a wonderful host. Our luggage was delayed and she even found much needed clothes and shoes so we could venture out into the blizzard conditions. Bea later visited me again and we travelled together to Tasmania, one of the few places she hadn’t previously been to.

Bea was a wonderful companion. In Tasmania she became friends with the owners of the property where we stayed overnight and that friendship lasted for many years.

Bea’s love of people and her devotion to, and pride in, her family showed through her regular letters, as did her interest in world events.

My family and I were fortunate to know and love Bea Magder.
