BEULAH CORWIN

December 28, 2017

Beulah Mae (Shultz) Corwin, 96, of Bible Grove, Mo., went to be with the Lord December 17, 2017, at the Knox County Nursing Home in Edina, Mo. She was born, at home, Dec. 16, 1921, the daughter of Thomas and Lela Mae Smith Shultz in Pulaski, Iowa.

She married Glen D. Corwin in Memphis, Mo., on Oct. 31, 1940 and he died Feb. 10, 2002.

Beulah graduated from Pulaski, Iowa High School where she was captain of her basketball team. She grew up on a farm near Pulaski and moved to Bible Grove after her marriage. She lived her entire life on the farm moving to the Knox County Nursing Home May, 2016.

She worked endless hours on the farm and at helping her family. Later on in life she worked outside the home at the Chuck Wagon Café, the Memphis Grocery, drove a school bus for several years and also worked at Shellor Globe in Keokuk, IA.

She had been a member of the Ladies of the Moose Lodge, Kirksville, MO, Rebekah Lodge, Eastern Star and the Christian Church in Memphis, MO and was always ready to donate her baked goods for all occasions.

Beulah, nicknamed “Bea” by her mother and “G.G.” by her grandchildren was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend. As a loving mom and grandma, G.G. taught her children and grandchildren the important things in life; patience, kindness, endurance, character, forgiveness, strength and above all else, unconditional love. She enjoyed teaching her granddaughters how to sew, bake, can and plant garden. Her ability to “Keep Going” in the days of adversity gave her endless strength. We celebrate her life and will cherish all the wonderful memories she created for her family.

Survivors include three children, Tom (Karen) Corwin, Bible Grove, Mo, Glenda Cox, Quincy, Ill., and Diana Couch, LaBelle, Mo; grandchildren, Michelle (Dan) Ebbing, Mitch (Michelle) Girardin, Matthew (Kandice) Cox, Tony (Kristin) Couch, Tim (Brianna) Couch, Angie Spencer, Aimee (Cory) Logsdon, Eric (Lana) Corwin, Mark (Vicki) Corwin, Chris (Billie Jo) Childress, Kelle (Bill) Gunnel, Christi (David) Clemens, and Denine Hunt, thirty-six great grandchildren and nine great great-grandchildren.
