Beatrice N. Hannold (nee Baile) of Bensalem was devoted to her son, especially after her husband of 15 years, Day L. Hannold, died at the age of 45 from a staph infection after a hernia operation.

\”She and my dad were swell parents and I was very fortunate to be adopted by them after they lost their baby girl, born prematurely, in 1947,\” said her son, Wayne L., also of Bensalem. \”For years, it was just Mom and I and she devotedly played the role of mom and dad.

\”The last time I saw my dad was when they snuck me up the fire escape into the hospital because, back then, children weren\’t allowed to visit people. She was involved with everything in my life and never remarried.\”

Mrs. Hannold, 92, died on July 27 of complications from dementia.

\”I had to sell the house in Jersey and build an accommodating wing on my home for her because she had her legs amputated,\” he said. \”My girlfriend Angel took great care of her with all her health problems and they established an amazing bond — they loved one another very much.\”

Born in Gloucester City, N.J., Mrs. Hannold lived there until 1956 and returned in 1988. She lived in Bensalem for five years. She was a 1932 graduate of Gloucester City High School and a 1936 graduate of Glassboro State College, now Rowan University.
