As a child, Beulah was quite athletic and she was able to outrun many of the boys in the county. She was educated in a one-room schoolhouse near their farm and many times rode to school on her horse Prince, given to her as a gift by her Dad. She graduated from Copan High School in 1928, where she participated on the girls' basketball team.

Following high school, Beulah attended Business College and then joined the work force as a food services manager for F.W. Woolworth Co. She lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico and then was transferred to Lincoln, Nebraska to manage the food services department there.

It was there that she met her husband, James King, who was working there in food sales. They fell in love and were married April 22, 1939 in Marysville, Kansas, and established their home in Lincoln. They were married for 61 years, 7 months, and 12 days. They have 2 sons: James (born in Dec. 1940) and Douglas (born in May 1945). February 1942 will always be remembered as the date when their lives changed and they made decisions to devote their lives to Jesus Christ and acknowledge His Lordship in their lives. That lifelong commitment continued until the moment of Beulah's death, and certainly continues even now. It was her desire to completely obey her Savior and that His will would be displayed in all that she did.

Beulah's nickname, Pat, was given to her by her husband, Jim. She did not really know why he chose that name, but she was always happy to go by that name while he was alive. Jim died in Salina, Kansas in December 2000. The Kings established King's Drive-In Restaurants in 1955 in partnership with Larry Price of Lincoln. That business expanded to 5 restaurants in Lincoln with several smaller restaurants as well. The Kings retired from that business in 1970, and moved to Salina, Kansas to be near Jim's widowed mother. After her death, they lived for short periods of time in Solvang, California (near their children and grandchildren) and Bartlesville, Oklahoma before returning to Salina. They briefly lived in Lindsborg, Kansas before Jim's death.

Beulah was involved for many years as a leader for Friendship Bible Studies, a group established for the purpose of helping women to study God's Word together each week. After Jim's death, she continued to teach and lead those groups, and when she finally stepped down from that position at age 96, she was heading up 8 bible studies in the Salina area. She has been wonderfully used by God as a shining example of the power of allowing God to rule in one's life.

Most recently, she lived for the past two and one-half years at Drury Place in Salina and was living alone independently until she became ill during the last two months of 2007. She was blessed with a tremendously healthy life, thanks to God, and she continued to be extremely alert even to the final moments of her life here on earth. Her final hours were spent thinking and talking about the blessing of being privileged to spend half of Thanksgiving Day in time before moving to the Eternal Kingdom. Other than removal of her appendix at age 21, and the birth of her two sons over 60 years ago, she never required major medical attention beyond routine examinations. God took her peacefully to her final home November 22, 2007, just 2 ½ weeks prior to her 98th birthday. May her memory be Eternal!
