She was a faithful member of First Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday School and served as the church librarian for many years. She helped found the Hill House Pre-school in 1984. She was a dedicated member of the Dulcimer Dames and brought smiles to many faces as she made her folk toy "the dancin' man" come to life with the music. Over the past six years, Alzheimer's whittled away at the things that made Beula who she was, but it never took away her love for children or her devoted husband, Dee. Her kind, genuine demeanor, southern charm and grace and her evening dinners and Sunday suppers will always be missed.
Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by: a stepson, John D. Fraley; a brother, Harry Adkins; and a sister, Bea Wells. In addition to her husband, Dee, she is survived by: a son, Mark Diamond; two grandchildren, Tucker Diamond and Eliza Pearl Diamond; two step-sons, Bryan (Peden) Fraley and Clint Fraley; a step-daughter, Sheila (Scott) Hayes; and six step-grandchildren.
The memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, October 2, at First Baptist Church, with Rev. Don Reed and Mark Adler officiating. Inurnment will follow in Paris Cemetery, with honorary bearers being Mark Diamond, Jerry Brady, Bonnie Brady, Kenney Roseberry, Dorothy Osborne, Anne Rogers, Carol Merringer, Susan Eades and Helen Link. Visitation will be from 1:00 p.m. until time for the service. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to the Paris-Bourbon County Library Summer Reading Program.
