Beulah was born in Bridgewater Township and raised on a farm in Tipton. She graduated from Tecumseh High School in 1949 and married Stanley P. Dermyer on September 24, 1949. She was a faithful wife, devoted mother and loving grandmother. She was a member at the First Baptist Church of Tecumseh where she taught Sunday School for several years. She also belonged to the Extension Club where she learned cake decorating and other crafts. She loved baking "comfort food" for her family and trying new recipes. When the kids went to high school, she went with them, working in the high school cafeteria until she retired. She enjoyed camping, riding motorcycles, traveling and visiting family. She loved her family beyond words. She was a kind and generous friend who was well loved and will be forever missed. A memorial service will be held on September 24, 2021 at the Covenant Church in Tecumseh. There will be a time of fellowship and visiting from 1-2 p.m., followed by a service at 2 p.m. Her cremains will be buried following the service at Brookside Cemetery, next to Pete, on what would have been their 72nd wedding anniversary.
