Beatrice (Bea) Roslyn Aron

Beatrice (Bea) Roslyn Aron, age 99, loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully in her home with family by her side on Saturday, January 21, 2023. Bea was born on October 28, 1923, in Brooklyn, New York to Rose and Norman Miller, who immigrated individually from Lithuania. She grew up in Rego Park. She married Herbert S. Greene on December 24, 1944, and lived in Queens, where they raised two children together. Unfortunately, she was a young widow when Herb passed away in 1969. Bea made a cross-country trip to Long Beach, California and was set up on a blind date for a dinner party. It was there that she met Meyer Leo Aron, and they were married within months in 1971. Leo passed away in 2003 after they shared 32 amazing years together, and Bea continued to live in Long Beach for a total of 52 years. Bea had many passions, including mah-jongg and bridge, which she was still playing with a group just a few weeks before her passing. She played golf, loved the opera, symphony, and the theatre, and was an avid reader, finishing a book every couple of weeks until just recently. She traveled all over the world and had so many stories to share about multiple trips to Israel, Europe, Asia and Mexico. Bea dedicated her life to volunteering in hospitals and schools, but Hadassah was her greatest passion. She was a life member and supporter, served as President and held various other board positions in both New York and California, and was honored by Hadassah for her years of dedication and service along with her leadership, generosity and friendship. Judaism was important in her life. Bea was an active member of Temple Israel and studied Hebrew to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a Bat Mitzvah in her seventies. Bea never met a stranger and had a large extended social circle of friends throughout her life. She traveled to Houston numerous times and loved being with so many of you. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family. Bea was preceded in death by her parents, Rose and Norman Miller, and her two wonderful husbands, Herbert Greene and Meyer Leo Aron. She is survived by her children Susan Greene and Stuart Greene (Joan); grandchildren Hilary Greene, Andrea Kahle (Aaron), Elissa Harris (Mitch) and Stephen Greene (Heather); and great-grandchildren Laurel Greene, Noah, Ethan and Zachary Kahle, Serena and Reed Harris, and Madeleine, Lucy and Nathan Greene. Bea's passing is the end of an era, and she is greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hadassah or the American Lung Association. A graveside service will be held at 10:00 AM on Thursday, January 26, 2023 at Emanu El Memorial Park, 8341 Bissonnet., Houston, TX 77074.
