Born on November 25, 1938, in Denver, CO, Beatrice lived a full and impactful life dedicated to her family, faith, and community. In 1962, Beatrice married the love of her life, Dale Koellner.
Together, they nurtured a beautiful family. Sons, Ray M. Daily Jr.
, Denny L. Daily, and Kris Koellner and daughter, Susan Marie Jukola(Daily). Their family was further enriched by four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
Though their daughter Susan Marie Jukola (Daily) and Beatrice’s parents, Earl and Doris Beard, and her brothers, Morris E. Beard and Wesley J. Beard, have passed away, their memories continue to be cherished.
A woman of profound faith, Beatrice became a devoted Jehovah’s Witness in January of 1968. Her life was marked by her dedication to worship and nurturing her family, friends, and community. She enjoyed helping others learn about Jehovah and Christ Jesus, allowing her spiritual values to shine through her actions.
Beatrice’s interests were varied and heartwarming; she took great joy in crocheting and quilt making, creating treasured keepsakes for her children. Her green thumb was evident in the garden she lovingly tended, and the fruits of her labor, quite literally, filled the shelves as canned goods. She welcomed many into her home, always ready with a meal or snacks, enjoying the company of friends and loved ones.
