Beatrice Bianco

Beatrice Langevin, 86, passed away at 7:46 PM MT September 12, 2017, at her home in Albuquerque, NM, surrounded by love and family after a long illness. Our hearts are broken and the loss tremendous but we are very grateful for the time we had with her. She touched each of us in a different and special way.

Beatrice was born in her home in Garfield, NJ on January 29, 1931. She enjoyed crocheting, ceramics, jewellery crafting and many other artistic outlooks, playing cards and board games, going to the Santa Ana Star Casino (she loved the "Panda Slots") and spending time with her family.

Beatrice is preceded in death by her parents, Bernard Bianco and Minnie Sanzbrino, her half-brother, Bernard Bianco, and her husband, Louis Harold Langevin.

Beatrice is survived by her five children, Marguerite DeMone, Barbara DeMone, Karen Langevin, George Langevin and Teresa (Langevin) Main, eight grandchildren, Christina (Lancellotti) Lyding, Angelo Marabello II, Cassandra (Langevin) Figgs, Tiffany (Langevin) Chavez, Sabrina (Langevin) Perez, Angel (Main) Norris, Carmella Main and Tabitha Main, and 12 great-grandchildren, Dana Lyding, Nicole Lyding, Brittani Marabello, Angelo Marabello III, Isabella Marabello, Lilly-Ann Figgs, Michael Figgs, Gwyneth Figgs, Alexis Figgs, Karen Norris, Bentley Norris, Elige Norris, in-laws and many friends.

Beatrice always told new acquaintances to call her Bea, "like the second letter of the alphabet", but we knew her as Ma, Mom, Grandma and Graham. She loved us all, from our first breath and held our hand through the years. She gave us her all and asked for nothing in return. She stood proud of all of us. Her family meant everything in the world to her and our world is going to be a lonelier place without her.
