Beulah Mae Sires was born on May 17, 1930 in the French Creek area of rural Lansing, IA, the daughter of Clifford and Viette Sadler. After graduating from Lansing High School, she worked in the button factory in Lansing. On February 24, 1950, Beulah married Marvin Joseph "Buzz" Sires in Lancaster, MO.

They returned to Waukon in 1978 and she once again worked at the button factory in Lansing until her retirement at age 70.
Beulah enjoyed being outdoors, working in her garden and going hunting and fishing with Marvin. She also liked music and she and Marvin would often harmonize together as well as go dancing. Playing cards and following the Iowa Hawkeye basketball team were two of her other favorite pastimes. Beulah spent much of her life as a busy and dedicated mother who loved to cook for and take care of her family and was devoted to her grandchildren.

Dodge, Linda Smith of Des Moines, Marianne (Richard) Kearney of Dubuque, Dean (Diane) Sires of Ringgold, GA and Nicole (Randy) Lawson of Waukon; 12 grandchildren; 17 great-grandchildren; and 5 great-great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband Marvin, who died in 2002; a daughter, Sandra Pickel; 4 brothers, Arvid, Glen, Stanley and Elmer Sadler; and 2 sisters, Ruth Clinton and Laura Gruber.
