Obituary: Klug, Beulah E.

KLUG,
Beulah E.

Beulah E. Klug passed away peacefully, with family by her side, on December 15, 2015 in Bothell, Washington at the age of 92.

Beulah was a long time resident of Spokane, mov- ing recently to Bothell, Washington to be near her family.

She grew up in Colorado and Kansas during the Dust Bowl, enduring hardships that made her appreciative of what came later to her in life.

Later, her family moved to Moscow, Idaho where she met her future husband, Walter R. Klug, while they both attended the University of Idaho.

While Walt, as an Army officer, was in the service during World War II, they lived at Army bases in the South, where he taught infantry tactics.

After the war ended, they settled in Spokane where they raised their two children, Judy and Steven.

They hunted, fished, rode their horses, and traveled extensively around the country and around the world.

They became avid round and square dancers for over thirty years.

Beulah loved collecting and refurbishing antiques.

Walt was a real estate appraiser and a mortgage banker.

Beulah was a homemaker and an accomplished seamstress.

She made all of her own square dance dresses, as well as hundreds of other garments for themselves and others.

She was always industrious, kind and caring.

She will be greatly missed.
Beulah was preceded in death by her loving husband, Walt, her daughter, Judy Buss, and her brother, Harvey Butts.

She is survived by her sister, Viola Stickler of Colorado, by her brother, Edgar Butts of California, by her son, Steven Klug (Sandy), by her granddaughters, Janette Weimer (Chris), Wendy Bright (Geoff), and Lori Trullender (Brett), and by her great-grandchildren, Paige Weimer, Emily Weimer, Natalie Bright, and Tyler Bright.
A private family ceremony will take place at Fairmount Memorial Park on May 14 where her ashes will be interred in the family plot.
“To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.”
