Miss Bean was educated at the Elmira Public School where her father was principal.As she had shown unusual aptitude for music she studied at the Toronto Conservatory of Music under the late Dr. A. S.

From early years she was a church organist at the Methodist Church in Elmira and, on moving to Waterloo, she was appointed to the console of First United Church. After graduation she taught musicin the Twin City and in Elmira. In 1921 she took up residence in Kitchener and for several years served as organist and choir leader at Zion Evangelical Church and at Benton Street Baptist Church. She later returned to First United Church, Waterloo, as director of the choir and organist. To further her musical knowledge, Miss Bean took post graduate courses at the conservatories in Boston and Chicago. Her relaxation washer music and many vacations were spent attending summer courses at Chatauqua, N.Y. Miss Bean was always deeply interested in the musical life of the community and was actively associated with various musical organizations, such as the Kitchener-Waterloo Music Club, the Philharmonic Concert Association and the Women's Canadian Club. Surviving are two brothers, D. Alex. Bean of Kitchener and Clive S. of Toronto; also two sisters, Mrs. D. B. (Blanche) Musselman of Regina and Miss Emma L. Bean of Kitchener."
