Beulah was a first class lady all the years I knew her (over 50) and loved my many.

I will miss the visits and phone calls
we had during the time she spent in Spokane.

She will be greatly missed.

Dear Cousins...Beulah was there at my birth and was our oldest cousin. When I was a little girl she sewed doll clothes for all my dolls...some still exist. She was always much admired for her temperament and artistic ability. What a great life she had. I have donated to the Wilbur pool and cemetery in her name. May she rest in peace among our ancestors. Her mother (my aunt) had a great influence on me as did all the sisters of my mother. In over a hundred years she had a community influence too.Blessings MOLLY SATY .
