Beatrice (Trix) McConnell lived all of her life in Gawler. Trix was just three months old when her mother died; a she was raised by her grandmother and aunt.
Trix never married and the one constant thread in her life was the community of the Transfiguration Church where she attended all her life. In her early years she was a keen photographer and stamp collector. Noting that the girls of the town needed a diversion, Trix took up the challenge of creating a Brownie and Girl Guide group at Gawler. She was involved with the group well past her eightieth year.
Trix spent her last few years at the James Martin Retirement Village.
