Beulah was a true servant who loved others. She welcomed all with open arms and heart. She loved learning and had many talents. We have beautiful artwork that she painted, blankets and sweaters she knitted, pottery she made and antiques she refinished. We will miss her greatly, but we are grateful she’s in heaven with her beloved savior, husband and loved ones.
