She was born on December 31, 1935 in Fayette County, a daughter of the late John and Bytha Johnson Parsons.

Bea was a 1953 graduate of Centerville High School and was later employed as a waitress at the Nemacolin County Club  where she then became the banquet manager for numerous years. She dedicated her life and was a devoted employee of the Country Club for 45 years.

Mrs. Kurjanowicz was a longtime member of the St. Katharine Drexel Parish where she was active in numerous church activities including fish fries, baking and food drives. She was also an honorary member of both the Nemacolin Country Club and Richeyville VFD where she often worked elections.
