Beulah Genevieve Goby passed away peacefully on June 23, 2021, at the age of 97. Born in Rush Lake, Saskatchewan, on October 23, 1923, she grew up through the dirty thirties in a family with eight children. After graduating high school, Beulah travelled to Ontario where she worked four years in a weapons factory during WWII. In 1946, she returned to Moose Jaw for three years of nursing training, followed by one year of university in Edmonton where she graduated as a teacher and supervisor of nurses. Beulah worked until 1963 at the Moose Jaw Union Hospital, before marrying Russell Goby and moving to their farm near Avonlea. One year later, their son James was born. Beulah was active in St. Peter’s Anglican church, volunteering with the ACW to support community events, and was a member of the recreation board that worked to acquire and allocate funding for community recreation. A gifted artist, Beulah enjoyed oil painting, and shared this talent through classes she offered in Avonlea and surrounding area. In 1999, Beulah designed and built a house in Avonlea, where she lived until 2018 when she moved to Wintergreene Estates in Regina. Beulah will be remembered as a faithful Christian and ambassador of Christ, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, and a loyal friend and family member. Equal parts dignity, poise, and grace, Beulah found joy in the finer things in life: the elegance of afternoon tea, complete with crisp linens and Royal Albert China, and the creation of a regal appearance in precise and classic fashion. Predeceased by her husband Russell (1992), sisters Vivian Friesen and Rose Marie Heffley, and brothers Glen, James and an infant Glen Anderson, Beulah is survived by her son James (Jackie) Goby, grandchildren Benjamin (Sonja) Goby, Karlee (Jeff) Armstead, great grandchildren Sophia and Russell Goby and Alayna Armstead, sister Frances Gerlach, brothers Franklin and Bob Anderson, and numerous nieces and nephews.
