A loving mother, Bea is survived by her husband Walter Martin and their children Christina Martin Sanchez (Marco Sanchez) of Miami Florida, Eleanor Martin of Fort Mill, SC and Walter Chandler Martin, Jr. (Sheena Martin) of Charleston, SC.
After raising their children Bea joined Walter and his partner Kerry Stinman in their wealth management practice at A.G.
