Beulah Louise Case, 86, of Copeland Oaks, formerly of Damascus and Frazeysburg, completed her earthly journey at Crandall Medical Center, in
Sebring, Ohio at 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, 2024.

She was born at the family home in Shannon Heights, near Frazeysburg, on June 11, 1937, the first born daughter of the late Emerson and Mary E. (Frazier) Dunfee.

She was a 1955 graduate of Frazeysburg High School and a 1959 graduate of
Muskingum College.

She taught junior high home economics for several years at Tri-Valley Schools.

She was married, on June 14, 1969 at Nashport United Methodist Church, to Ernest L. Case, Jr. and they were married until his death on February 24, 1996.

She is survived by sons, Charles (Christine) of McClure and David (Beth) of Shreve and grandchildren, Lauralie, Emily, Colin, Nathan and Sarah. She is also survived by her brother, Paul Dunfee of Frazeysburg and Marilyn (Pat) Scott of Phoenix, Arizona. Also surviving are her granddogs, Teddy and Willow.

One of her greatest joys was loving on her numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbors, lifelong friends and church family friends. She did so by keeping meticulous record of birthdays and special days, and sending cards, letters and pictures on days of celebration. Testifying to this is her collection of cards and correspondences that she leaves behind.

Louise’s pride and joy was her family, who she dedicated her life to. She found joy in preparing delicious meals, making and mending clothes for the family, and helping with homework and studies during school years. She won Best of Show at the Canfield Fair for her homemade bread, and her cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls were like no other. Her flower bed of tulips and impatiens were an annual show stopper on Floral Drive in Damascus.

She was a 50 year member of Damascus United Methodist Church, and served as a Sunday school teacher for several years. She will always be remembered by her sons for her commitment to nurturing them in the faith by attending Sunday school and worship weekly and sharing in church leadership and service.

She served with the Caring Friends outreach throughout her years of residing at Copeland Oaks.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her sister, Jean Duncan; brother, Emerson Roy Dunfee; brother-in-law, Bill Duncan; sister-in-law, Marcie Dunfee and a niece, Tricia White.
