Beulahinframe 1

It is with great sadness that the Smith family announces the passing of Beulah Sophia Smith of Hunts Point, Queens County on December 5th, 2020 in Queens General Hospital, Liverpool. Mom was 101 and since 2016 she lived, first at Stonehaven Lodge, Port Mouton and the last year at Ridgewood Assisted Living, Bridgewater, Nova Scotia.
Born at home in Pleasant River, Queens County on August 28th, 1919. She was the second daughter of Ralph Lee and Eva Sarah (Meisner) Waterman. Mom attended the Normal College in Truro and taught school in Queens County for thirty-eight years in the communities of White Point, Hunts Point, and North Port Mouton ending her career in 1984 after 24 years teaching mainly Primary at the Port Mouton Consolidated School. She touched many lives and was reminded of this on a regular basis by her former students. Mom would reminisce on how she enjoyed working with younger minds. Throughout her life Mom was about hard work, kindness and taking care of others. She was active in the community volunteering in church groups, The United Church of Canada; and community groups, Hunts Point Hall, Oceanside Cemetery, and West Queens Coastal Community Development Association, “ Coastal Queens”, Port Mouton and others. In recognition of her community service at the age of 94 mom was the recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal, she volunteered at a National Curling event at the age of 96.
Mom cherished time spent with family, in her later years she especially enjoyed tending great grandchildren in times of need. They always had fun with” Great Gram”. An avid curler, she was a founding member of the women’s curling club in Liverpool and was an honorary member of the Liverpool Curling Club at the time of her death. She had many talents and hobbies, such as gardening, painting, quilting and knitting. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her husband of 51 years George Alfred “Affie” Smith, her sister Eileen Himmelman, brothers Louis and Rodger Waterman and close friend, sister-in-law Edna Smith. She is survived by her two sons, Ralph Glendon, Gatineau, Quebec and Jim (Adele) Pine Grove, Lunenburg County; four grandchildren, Darwin Smith Bedford, Halifax County, Lynn (Danny) Nowe, Dayspring Lunenburg Co.; Amanda Smith(Shawn Wells) Bedford, Halifax County; Tyler (Maria Consiglio) Smith Oshawa Ontario; 7 great grandchildren; Kelsey-Lynn Nowe (Ashton Stephenson), Bedford; Ryan Nowe, Dayspring; Colton Smith, Oromocto New Brunswick; Skyler and Jack Wells, Bedford; James and Lily Smith Oshawa; one great great grandson Ellis Gus Stephenson, Bedford. A debt of utmost gratitude is owed to Deborah and Alexander Doggett who have lent their love, support and care over the past few years. Cremation has taken place under the direction of Chandlers’ Funeral Home, Liverpool, Queens County. Burial will take place in Oceanside Cemetery, Hunts Point. A funeral service to celebrate Mom’s life will be held at a later date in the Wesley United Church of Canada, Hunts Point. Reverend Karen Ohrt officiating. No flowers by request. Donations may be made to the Wesley United Church, Hunts Point or a charity of your choice. To share memories and condolences, please visit www.chandlersfuneral.com

    We are so sorry to learn of Beulah’s death. She certainly was a pillar of Hunts Point and surrounding communities.
    She was one of the sweetest, dearest ladies I have ever known. I had the pleasure of quilting with her for many years both at Queens Quilters and Hunts Point. She was always doing things to make life easier for others. She was a wonderful quilter and Baker. She had made many crafts and quilts and baked for many Bake Sales at Coastal Queens Place and Hostel. She will be missed.

    To Beulah’s Family and Friends, I extend my sincerest sympathy and gratitude. As a young teacher at Port Mouton School, Beulah was a mentor and a wonderful example of everything that made, not a good, but a great teacher. Her firmness, kindness, generosity and all round goodness was willingly shared with not only her students and friends, but with anyone who was fortunate enough to come in contact with her. I have many fond memories. I pray that you will take comfort in your memories and the knowledge that she touched so many lives in such a positive way.

    Beulah was my kindergarten teacher as well as my father’s kindergarten teacher. I always was amazed by that fact. I thought she was a wonderful teacher and I can still remember some of the things she did in her class to help us all along in school. Even after all of these years, she still spoke to me whenever I saw her and seemed to remember me even after the hundreds of kids that she had taught over the years. She was a wonderful lady and teacher. Condolences to her family at this very sad time.

    It is heartbreaking to hear that we have lost an icon such as Beulah. I learned so many valuable skills from her when I worked at the store in my early teens. You would often hear me say that I was trained for the workforce by the best! Some of those training sessions were difficult; but lead to much success in my life and work experiences. Thank you Mrs. Smith!! I love you xxx

    Sincere condolences to all of Beulah’s family!! Your first teacher is a special one and ‘Mrs. Smith’ was no exception! I was surprised and so happy to see the picture of Mom, Aunt Amy & Alex in her video keepsake! I was so blessed to be able to attend her 100th birthday celebration! Although she couldn’t remember my first name, she knew I was ‘one of the twins’ and laughed about the day that David, Doug Frellick and I were late for school and wet because we were playing in the puddles after a heavy rainfall! I couldn’t believe that she still remembered that day! May it bring you comfort and peace knowing how much she was loved and what a wonderful gift she was to so many children and adults alike!

    Sincere condolences on the passing of a wonderful lady. Beulah was my skip in curling. She exhibited lots of patience and humour with us newbies to the game. Even though I never taught with Beulah, we would meet up at various teacher functions over the years. It was always great when Beulah was able to attend Retired Teachers functions. The video tribute is filled with lots of memories of a life well lived.

    Dear Family of Beulah Smith, I remember going to her birthday last year in the Hunt’s Point Hall. I knew if my mom hadn’t
    passed away she would have taken many pictures of her as she was her teacher, my dad’s and mine. I would always
    marvel at the speed of her walking when I met her in town and I always felt she must surely have been drinking from the
    fountain of youth, because really, she did not look to be 100 last year at her big bash. I remember giving her a card with a
    picture of my mats I used to draw in primary. She always would comment on how she loved them. Someone had mentioned
    her having a twinkle in her eye. She certainly did have a sparkle for life. I pray that you let your hearts overflow with the
    many memories you had over the years with her. Prayers of comfort and blessing to you all as you miss her and go through
    this difficult time. Take care, Linda, Stephen and family
