Beula Bell Hinckley
1926 - 2014
Early Life: Beula Bell was born July 10, 1926, in Preston, Idaho; the oldest child of Asael Enos and Cassie Stephenson Bell. The first two years of her life were spent in a log cabin near McCammon, Idaho, where her parents taught school. She graduated from Preston High School in 1944; the only one of her class to attend Brigham Young University that year. She graduated from BYU in 1948, with a major in Sociology and a minor in English.
Life's Work | Service | Interests: In September 1947, Beula married Edwin Carlyle Hinckley Jr. in the Salt Lake Temple. After her graduation, Ed and Beula moved to Oregon where Ed attended Oregon State University and taught high school in Eugene for ten years. Their three children, Ann, Scott and Craig were born in Oregon. After living briefly in Wisconsin and Colorado, the family moved back to Provo, Utah, in 1963 when Ed accepted a job teaching Industrial Education at BYU. Not long after that, Beula returned to school and received her Masters of Social Work degree from the University of Utah in 1968. She worked in several different social work positions in her career, most notably as Director of the Forensic Unit at Utah State Hospital. Beula and Ed loved to travel. After spending two working years in Ethiopia, they traveled throughout the world visiting all continents except Antarctica. They were confirmed birders and loved to travel to prime bird watching sites, particularly in Australia and South America. Beula loved to read, sew and cook. She also loved to learn and excelled in everything she attempted. She and Ed were warm and welcoming to family and visitors and had a permanent open door policy for everyone at both their homes in Provo. As a committed member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Beula valued the blessings she received from her service in many positions over many years. She was an empathetic and funny mother who supported her children and grandchildren in whatever choices they made. She loved her family unconditionally. They feel fortunate to have had her as a mother and grandmother. Beula Bell Hinckley, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, died peacefully on July 30, 2014, after a long illness. She was 88.
