Beulah Carlson Voorhees passed away May 19, 2016. Beulah was born September 23, 1918 to Edward Samuel and Bertha Ruesch Carlson. She was raised with four brothers. Mom married her ‘Gold and Green Ball’ sweetheart Ivan David Voorhees (Ike) on August 2, 1940 in the Manti Temple.

Eventually Mom and Dad moved from Manti to Salt Lake City and raised six children. Ann Marlowe (Jerold) Oakey, Hugh (Kathleen) Voorhees, Pauline (Douglas) Wimmer, Darrell (Bette) Voorhees, Randy (Cindy) Voorhees, and Carol (John) Fackler.

Mom is survived by her children, grandchildren, brother Vernon (Betty) Carlson, and many lifelong friends. She is predeceased by her parents, her husband, her brothers Ivan Carlson, Claire Carlson, Carl Carlson, and son-in-law Kent W. Marlowe

Mom’s best times were with her family. She was proud of her family and their accomplishments. She reminded us many times that we were the “jewels in her crown.” Beulah loved playing table games, especially Yahtzee, with her grandchildren.

Mom was known for her compassion supporting many neighbors, friends, and family throughout her life. Mom and Dad enjoyed hosting dinner parties for church groups, neighbors, and friends. They were especially known for organizing/hosting their street party that has continued for 60 years.

Mom was a dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served ‘forever’ in various church capacities, both in ward and stake positions. Mom and Dad found great joy serving a mission together in the South Salt Lake Miller Ward.

A viewing for Beulah will be held Wednesday, May 25, 2016 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Canyon Rim Stake Center (3051 South 2900 East). A viewing will also be held Thursday May 26, 2016 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to the 11:00 a.m. funeral service at the church. Graveside services will be held at 3:00 p.m. in the Manti City Cemetery.

Mom and Dad’s legacy was an example of hard work and compassion—they expect nothing less from their children.
