Well, seeing Aunt Bee would no longer be a spring chicken in "Return to
Mayberry" I would imagine she would be spending a lot of her time just
sitting on the front porch with Opie and his family enjoying all the
memories of raising Andy and Opie. I would imagine she would have a hand in
helping to raise Opie's children as well. Most likely many of her friends
would no longer be with her so her "Golden Years" would definitely be
bittersweet. I would imagine she shares many stories with Opie's children
about what Mayberry was like when Opie was young and how there have been
many changes. But knowing Aunt Bee as we do, I would suspect she would take
all the changes and challenges that confront her each day the same way she
faced all her problems in the past. With dignity and grace, for she was
indeed a real lady. It would be nice to see a handsome man sitting beside
her holding her hand during the final years of her life, but being she never
seemed to be destined for holy wedlock, I am sure she accepted her way of
life as a gift of God and realizes that she was truly blessed with all the
family and friends who were a part of her life.
