Frances Bavier, the late actress who played t0 Aunt Bee on the classic TV show, "The Andy Griffith Show," really loved her local police force.
When she died in 1989 at age 86, her will said that $100,000 goes to a fund for the police department in Siler City, N.C. That is the small town where she lived alone with her 14 cats in the last years of her life.
