Beulah Beatrice (Durrance) Garner
August 31, 1923 — February 24, 2014
Beulah "Boots" Garner, of Newport, passed away peacefully at home in her sleep on Monday, February 24, 2014.
Her service will be a graveside at Gethsemane Memorial Gardens on Thursday, 2:00 pm with Dr. Gary Carroll, pastor, officiating.

She was a longtime member of Newport Baptist Church where she was very active and taught Sunday School, and Bible School in her younger days.
Beulah was an excellent cook and enjoyed showing her love to her family with their favorite dishes. One of her greatest loves in life was for animals, and she always had room for another stray in need of food, kindness, and a loving home.
