She was converted at the age of 12 and was a member of the Washington

Congregational Christian Church and was faithful in attendance until
recently when her health no longer permitted her to attend.  She was
known as "Grandma Beasley" to her family and friends and will be
sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.  However, her Christian
influence will live on in the hearts of many people.
