"The Soul of Mayberry"

Even though she appeared in several films and television shows during her long career it was her ten year stint as Aunt Bee Taylor on "The Andy Griffith Show" and then "Mayberry R.F.D." that made her beloved by all... She became the living embodiment of that loving matriarch we all want...always ready with sage advice, kind words and delicious food, her character truly was golden... Whether it was getting a pilot's license, making her own pickles and marmalade or being the lone hold out on a jury her heart always went out to others... Illness slowed her down during the last years of her life and she finally lost that battle on December 6, 1989 just eight days before what would've been her 87th birthday... 20 years after her passing...
