Beatrice Copeland is a Unity minister who was ordained in 1977. Beatrice Copeland was born December 31, 1924 (probably in Georgia) and she made her transition May 4, 1999. Her last residence was Bronx, New York. The October 1977 Contact newsletter said she would be pioneering a new ministry in New York City.
She is also found in the October 1976 issue, which reads: Bea Copeland entered SMRS from New York City where she served as platform chairman and Sunday School Superintendent at Unity Universal Center. Prior to entering the ministry, Bea served the Department of Relocation (Urban Renewal) in New York and acquainted site tenants with the understanding of the relocation process, rights and benefits. In addition to being a licensed Unity teacher, Bea also holds a real estate license and enjoys collecting perfume bottles and helping people. She has also been active in various clubs and service organizations. Bea is single.
