Barbara A. Beall

Barbara Alice Beall, age 78, of Bel Air, Maryland, passed away peacefully on Thursday, July 31, 2025, in Bel Air.

Born in Bel Air, she was the daughter of the late Paul Woodrow Peak and Ruth Mae (Grafton) Peak. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Charles Evans Beall, and her brother, Paul Peak.

Barbara is survived by her devoted son, Christopher Beall, and his wife Roni; her cherished grandchildren, Evan Beall, and Kyle Rice; and her loving sister, Deanna Bowker, and her husband Butch, and sisters-in-law Debra Peak, Norma Hubard and Sandra Krass.

Barbara was a lifelong resident of Harford County and a proud member of Highland Presbyterian Church. She was an avid reader and loved to paint—truly an artist with many talents. Her creative spirit showed through in every project she undertook. A passionate gardener, Barbara especially enjoyed cultivating flowers, and she found great joy in her ancestry and genealogy research, which she lovingly pursued for her entire family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are welcome; the family is still determining a preferred organization.
