Beulah graduated from Waverly High School near Yuma, CO and met her husband Doyle at a ball game in the Wages community. They were married in Brighton, CO, September 19, 1934, until his death, on October 20, 1982. They resided at their farm/ranch in the Wages community, 18 miles southwest of Holyoke for nearly their entire marriage, spending 1 year in Holyoke and 5 years in Sterling, CO. Besides being a heavy equipment operator; tractor, combine, trucks, etc., she had many talents including her poetry writing, crafts, art work (painting,) sewing, quilting, cooking and her innate abilities to entertain at the spur of a minute. When she resided in Sterling, CO, she was actively involved in community service, helping start an used clothing store for those in need, but her greatest joy was giving anonymously. She was a member of Pleasant Valley Church as a child and the Wages Methodist Church after she was married. Later she belonged to the Sterling, CO, Methodist Church and the Holyoke Methodist Church. She taught Sunday and Bible School many years and wrote several Christmas pageants. She was a member of the Holyoke Eastern Star, the Flying Farmers of America and many other organizations. Beulah was a wonderful mother, grandmother, neighbor and always there to lend a helping hand. Her children and entire family hold thousands of wonderful memories and life lessons from this amazing woman.
