Shirley Jean Beebe, 79

Shirley Jean Beebe was welcomed into the arms of Jesus on Oct. 1, 2014. Shirley was born Dec. 19, 1934, to Burt and Violet Stearns in Hillyard, Wash. She married Stewart Beebe in Hayden, Idaho, in 1956. Shirley and Stewart had four children that they raised in Hayden. She was preceded in death by her husband, Stewart Radmore Beebe, in 1981. She is survived by their four children: John and Cheryl Beebe of Rathdrum, Idaho; Mary Beebe of Seattle, Wash.; Stewart and Susan Beebe of Blackfoot, Idaho; and George and Peggy Beebe of Hauser, Idaho; fourteen grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.

Her world centered around her family. She knew the names and birthdates of each child, grandchild and great-grandchild. Her favorite pastimes were going to Curves and Costco. She enjoyed attending church and family gatherings. She loved her cats that she had over her lifetime. Her smile and laughter will be greatly missed by all of us.
