It is with great sadness that RCAC has learned of the passing of Bea Browand. Bea was a member of the Upper St. Clair Republican Committee, a member of the Republican Committee of Allegheny County and a member of the Republican State Committee.

Bea was an inspiration to all of us. She was energetic, cheerful, kind, and a tireless grassroots worker with a sharp mind who enjoyed talking policy and debating. She could be a fierce debater but never got angry at those who disagreed with her. Her wit and wisdom and friendly spirit will sorely be missed by the Republican Party.

Because of her tireless work for the Republican Party, Bea was the recipient of the RCAC “Spirit of Lincoln” award several years ago for the best grassroots worker of the year.

Bea is survived by her husband, Tom, and two sons.

To send cards to her family:
