Beulah Daines Petersen
5/21/1922 - 1/3/2016

BRIGHAM CITY - Our loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend Beulah Daines Petersen passed away peacefully with her family by her side Sunday, Jan. 3, 2016.

Beulah was born in Preston, Idaho, on May 21, 1922, to Newel George Daines and Verna Rainey. Beulah grew up in Logan, Utah. She graduated from Utah State University and did postgraduate work at UCLA and the University of Utah.

She lived in Boston, New York, Montpelier, ID, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Brigham City.

She was married to Robert H. Burgoyne from 1943-77. She married Vern H. Petersen on Nov. 12, 1979, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple.

Throughout her long life she served in many leadership positions in the Young Women and Primary organizations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including seven years on the General Primary Board. While on the Primary Board she had assignments in the United States, Canada and Europe, and chaired committees in church curriculum and music. She also had the special responsibility to work with the handicapped Primaries.

She was a talented seamstress who taught and worked in the fashion industry in New York City and New Jersey. Out of love and for the joy of creation she blessed family and friends by designing wedding dresses and cakes and creating all varieties of home furnishings.

Beulah was the primary architect for two beautiful homes, including the one Vern, her contractor husband, built in Brigham City.

Surviving are her four children, Diane (Steven) Pond of Longview, WA; Robert (Adrienne) Burgoyne of San Tan Valley, AZ; John (Candy) Burgoyne of Bellevue, WA; Elizabeth (Brett) Merrell of Bountiful, UT; 22 grandchildren, 55 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.

She is also survived by six stepchildren, Pat Petersen of Harrisville, UT; Gary (Patty) Petersen of Coeur D'Alene, ID; Brent (Ruth) Petersen of Payson, UT; Jim (Barbara) Petersen of Bend, OR; Chad (Anna) Petersen of Bend, OR; and Michael Petersen of Lasanimas, CO; 21 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.

In addition, she has nine surviving siblings, Newel (Jean) Daines, Patricia (Duane) Chadwick, Janet McCowin, David (Ronna) Daines, Paul (Alene) Daines, Helen Harvath, Jonathan (Elaine) Daines, Samuel (Margaret) Daines, Stephen Daines, and one sister-in-law Kari Daines.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Vern Petersen, brother, Robert Daines and one brother-in-law, Jack Harvath.
