I like how someone put a string of "pearls" around her gravestone. She wore them a lot on the show.

From one crazy cat lady to another, Rest In Peace, Aunt Bee! Thanks for showing her grave!

Hi, Linda, I grew up watching the Andy Griffith show in the 70s,a great show,may frances Bavier RIP 💐 and a great night to you

I loved Aunt Bee! Her character reminded me of my own great grandmother. The pickles are from an episode where her and a neighbor lady were entering a contest at the fair for best pickles. Aunt Bee's were sooo salty that no one could stand to eat them and the race was on to get rid of all those jars of rotten pickles before the fair. Funny show!

She was one of my favorites.May she rest in peace.Never forgotten.

We have been to Siler City, NC. On the show, whenever she went to visit family, she would say she was going to Siler City. The story goes that Andy and Ron Howard went out to her house to visit her after the show ended. She would not let them in. Her house was recently on the market; it had been completely renovated. Andy also died in NC, near the Outer Banks. He was buried I believe the same day. If you go to Mount Airy, NC, it’s like going to Mayberry. Mount Airy is where Andy was born. They have a wonderful museum there about the show. You can tour the city in a police car like on the show. They even have Opie’s candy store.

"Maybe I should've looked it up before I started filming... maybe I just didn't feel like it!" I freaking love your matter of fact attitude. Love your channel Lamont ❤

My goodness if that was aunt Bee at 87 years young in the picture you showed of her. I would of never knew it was her. She changed as she got really older. I know we all will but that didn’t even look like her. Wow. Cool video Lamont! Why it was fascinating I might say. lol. Thanks

RFD stood for Rural Farm District. Yes, Frances Bavier was difficult to work with and in contrast to their on-screen chemistry, she and Andy Griffith did not get along when the cameras weren't rolling! She called Andy Griffith not long before her death to reconcile. In the early 1950's she also played the mother of Jerry Lewis in the classic Lewis & Martin film "The Stooge." Also contrary to her wholesome image as Aunt Bee, IRL Bavier was a chain smoker, which undoubtedly contributed to her declining health in her later years. In the 1986 Andy Griffith Show reunion movie "Return to Mayberry" that you referenced, Bavier was not healthy enough to reprise her role as you mentioned, besides being retired from acting, so it was written into the movie that Aunt Bee had passed away, there is a scene in which Andy visits her grave.

Thank you so much for doing this! I live in Fayetteville NC about an hour drive south of Siler City NC. I've always been a fan of the Andy Griffith show. I knew that Aunt Bee was burried in Siler City, and this video makes it all worth while to be able to see her final resting place. RIP Aunt Bee!!

When on "The Andy Griffith Show",she wasn't too fond of Andy and gave him a hard time. A few months before she died,someone who used to work on the show told Andy that she wanted to talk to him on the phone. She apologized to Andy for the two of them not getting along better. And,when she died,no other cast members went to her funeral.

Beautiful Stone. ❤️🤍

Everybody loves Aunt Bee for sure. The show just always made you relax and feel like home with the entire cast. Glad to see flowers and pennies from Heaven. Be Blessed. 💘

Seeing the jars of pickles makes me happy. Such an iconic episode and an unforgettable character

Andy could be hard to work with also, he had a temper. There's a couple of episodes where his hand was bandaged up from where he got mad and punched a wall. The Mt. Olive pickle plant is just up the road from me. Best pickles ever!

Rip legend God bless your soul

Aunt Bee....she was amazing....the show was a major hit and still a classic....great Tribute Lamont, as always. 🥰💜🙏

I remember her and enjoyed her appearances, but didn't watch the show that much. I DO remember Eve Arden. She was the real deal, an honest to Pete big time Hollywood movie actress, and had roles with the best of them. In later years, when TV became a thing, she was Connie Brooks on Our Miss Brooks, a very popular show. Jeff Chandler was her love interest on that show. He was a HUNK!

Thank Lamont for this video, This was one of my favorite shows growing up!

Bavier pronounced Bah Vee Ay.. very under rated actress.. thanks for sharing Lamont. Everyone needs an Aunt Bea in their life. ❤️

The pickle episode taught me to just be honest!! If they can’t handle honest criticism? That’s their problem. Loved her and the show. Another great vid!

One of my favorite shows. I watched it over and over on Netflix. I've seen every episode several times. I actually canceled Netflix when they dropped it. Such beautiful actresses. Elinor Donahue will always be my favorite.

Awesome, I live very close to this Cemetery. My sister who passed in 1991, used to care for Frances. So did my niece until Frances passed away.

She got really depressed n lived with her beloved cats. She wanted NOTHING to do anymore with tv, movies ect. Ain't Bee's pickles.....funniest episode of Andy Griffith 😊 rest in God's good love dear lady 🙏😇

Mt. Olive pickles are made in NC. I live in southern VA and have been eating them all my life. How appropriate. They are really good and do not taste like poor Aunt Bea’s. I think she ended up in Siler City because so much of the show was filmed in the area. I don’t think you said that but still fun video. Watch it all the time. ❤️

That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Aww I loved Aunt Bee and the Andy Griffith show as a whole.

I loved "Our Miss Brooks". It was a great show in re-runs for years in 60's.

Awww! Loved you " aunt Bee" RIP beautiful lady. How funny we share the same birthday only mine is December 14,1956 and we share a love of cats and I too am a crazy cat lady and do cat rescue and TNR. Andy Griffith was my favorite show as a child and I still watch the reruns ❤

My mom loved The Andy Griffith show. She would watch every day and we recorded some for her so she could always watch it.

Now I have to look up the Eve Arden Show. From what I looked up the Eve Arden show ran from 1957-1958 and Francis Beaver's character was the mom of Eve Arden. Eve was a widow raising twin daughters.

I used to watch “The Andy Griffith Show” with my Grandpa when I was young in the 1990’s. I tried to whistle along with the theme song but never got it. RIP

My all time favorite show. Watch it every night.

Sweet lady rip❤🙏😔

How wonderful was this woman loving and kind and I loved the people that were in the show with her too. Thank you for the video I really did love her personality she was so strong and lovely.

I was told that Francis Bavier hated Andy Griffith and some other men on the Andy Griffith Show. The people who knew Francis in real life said that she was an insufferable prick to be around.

Thanks L! ❤️💜

Thanks lamont for another interesting video thanks for sharing take care my friend ❤ 😊

Thanks for the awesome job you continue in doing and we also get to enjoy all the location with you. Have a great weekend and please stay safe.

The Eve Arden show was in the 1950s well before you were born. If you ever saw Grease, Eve Arden was the principal at the high school who said, “if you can’t be an athlete, be an athletic supporter”. That photo was not Frances Bavier the actress, but another random Frances Bavier. She pretty much looked the same until her death as she did on Andy Griffith show.

Perhaps this will help shed some light on why Frances was the way she was...keep in mind she was born and raised in New York City and was an known actress of stage and screen reduced to taking a job playing the part of a country bumpkin... here in her own words... Bavier confessed in an interview with Bill Ballard for Carolina Camera that "it is very difficult for an actress ... to create a role and to be so identified that you as a person no longer exist and all the recognition you get is for a part that is created on the screen."[7]...she wanted to be recognized for more than just playing Aunt Bee...she was also lonely felt unappreciated and unloved...she died all alone...
