A proud Idaho farm girl, she was part of the last graduating class from Downey High School and attended Brigham Young University, where she graduated with a degree in Education.

Beulah and Dick started their marriage in Ogden, UT, they lived in the following Seattle, Washington, Hong Kong, Chappaqua, New York, Spokane, Washington, Idaho Falls, Idaho, Monterrey, Mexico, Montevideo, Uruguay, and then finally returned to Ogden. They shared a passion for travel, and they saw the world. 

One of Beulah’s greatest joys in life was service, particularly with children. She took every opportunity to volunteer with them and in her communities. Her home was a warm and welcoming place for anyone who entered. No one ever left hungry, and there was always a candy stash. 

Beulah was a woman of great faith who loved her family and friends and had a great sense of humor. She was gentle, kind, and a bit sassy. She loved everyone and we loved her. She will be missed. 

Beulah is preceded in death by two of her children, Sean and Shannon Kenney, her parents Willis and Erma Brim, her sister and brother-in-law, Maxine and Gene Barnes, her brother, LaVern Brim, and her brother-in-law, Richard Boyle.
