Obituary for Beulah Elaine Harmon (Shaw)
Beulah Elaine (Shaw) Harmon received her wings and went home to her Heavenly Father on September 27, 2020 at the age of ninety-seven. She was born on September 1, 1923 in Bixby, Missouri, a daughter of the late Arthur John Shaw and the late Effie Mae (Stuart) Shaw.
On October 4, 1941, Beulah was united in marriage to the late Clifford E. Harmon who preceded her in death in 1997. They were blessed with fifty-five years and many wonderful memories together. Two children were born to this union.
In addition to her parents and her beloved husband, she was preceded in death by her four brothers and three sisters-in-law and one infant sister: Carl (Paulyne) Shaw, Harold (Christine) Shaw, Paul (Melba) Shaw, Guy Shaw and Thelma Shaw.
Beulah will be missed by all who knew and loved her. She could light up a room with her beautiful smile. Her great grandchildren tagged her with the name “Memaw”, and that name was shared by many. Those who remain to cherish her memory include her two children: Bonnie (Carl) Thornton, and Cliff Harmon Jr.; three grandchildren: Sheri Schomburg and friend, Brian Hessling, Kim (Jay) Rovin, Matt (Amanda) Harmon; five great-granddaughters: Brenna Schomburg, Hannah Schomburg, Mackenzie Rovin, Reese Rovin, and Lainey Rovin; step granddaughter: McKenna Parsons; and sister-in-law Katie Shaw. Beulah also leaves behind nieces, nephews and friends who were special to her.
Beulah loved the St. Louis Cardinals. No other avid fan could surpass her. She kept score sheets and could tell the manager who should be playing and often did through her TV. St. Louis Cardinals and Young and Restless were not to be interrupted by anyone. Her favorite line “call back later”.
