For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that who so ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.-John 3:16-Unbeknowing to everyone suddenly, Juliet Constance McQueen Bey gracefully left this earth on Thursday, October 23, 2003 at the age of 71.Juliet was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 28, 1932. Daughter of the late Ruth Davis Graham and John H. Gillian and was the eldest of two daughters. Juliet was educated in the Baltimore City Public School System.Juliet or “Julia” as she preferred received her early religious education at Temple #13 in Baltimore City, there she met and married John E. McQueen Bey on August 14, 1949 and from this union eight children were born. They then moved to Severna Park, Maryland where she was a dedicated homemaker, wife, mother and grandmother.Julia was a woman of many interests. No matter what she did, her family, God and the church were at the center of her life. She was an active member of Silas First Baptist Church for over 30 years, where she began to do the Lords work under the late Rev. Emory J. Rich. In 1993 she re-dedicated herself toe the work of Christ under the leadership of Pastor Young, she grew in the Lord and she grew spiritually in the church. Julia served the church in many capacities from being president of the missionaries, to being a member of the senior choir, but her baby was “ the Intercessory Prayer Group.”There has not been a time when Julia was not there for anyone, be it family or friend. She celebrated life one day at a time and was full of joy, love and laughter. Julia will be remembered for her love of the Lord, cooking, reading, singing, sewing, gospel music and listening to the ballgame.Julia leaves to celebrate her memory: her husband of 54 years John E. McQueen Bey; two sons, John H. and Lonnie; four daughters, Constance, Teresa, Cynthia and Sondra; two grandchildren, Bruce Bey and Walter Perry; one half-sister, Doris Gilliam; one sister-in-law, Frances Howard, many nieces, nephews, cousins, loyal friends and the many members of the Silas First Baptist Church family. She will be sorely missed.We will keep her in our hearts always, and “We Will Have Faith.”
