Ms. Beanitta "Bea" Dawkins

On Thursday March 3, 2022 at the age of 26 years, our beloved daughter, mother, granddaughter, sister and aunt, Beanitta L. Dawkins transitioned from this earth. Beanitta was born May 8, 1995 in Saginaw, Michigan to her proud parents, Marcellus L. Dawkins and Stacy L. Washington. During her early years, Beanitta attended Carrollton High School where she was the life of sports. Beanitta graduated in the “Class of 2013” after spending time wooing everyone with her cheerleading abilities. Beanitta was captain of her cheer team and could do a back tumble out of this world. She was also active on the Basketball and Track Teams. She had a personality that could connect with anyone that she met. Beanitta had a strong faith in the church. Being reared at South 17th Street Church of Christ allowed her to have the opportunity to bond with many youths all over the world. Beanitta loved to sing when they would go to Junior Youth Conferences. Beanitta also had the opportunity to worship as a teen at Garden of Eden Pentecostal Ministries. This is where she used her voice and assisted as captain of the Drill Team. Beanitta even had the opportunity to showcase her tumbling ability down the church aisle. Her final conversion in her Chrisitan walk was at Holy Mission Ministries. This is where Beanitta would bring her little ones to learn about God. Being that Beanitta had the love of God in her, she also let that light shine with family. Beanitta believed in hosting holidays at her place and would throw down in the kitchen. She had so much talent. She was able to make jewelry and knit like she had been doing it for years. Ms. Dawkins leaves to cherish her memory, three children, Brendon L. Dawkins, Jaiden L.
