Beulah Everene Wagoner

Beulah E. “Bee" (Winslow) Wagoner, born on March 27, 1935, passed peacefully on July 30, 2020 in her home. Born in Elma, Washington to Theodore E. and Lillian M. (Ator) Winslow, she grew up in McCleary Washington. After graduating as Elma High School Valedictorian, she attended Conqueror's Bible College in Portland Oregon, graduating from there in 1956. In 1957, she married John W. Wagoner, moving to the Caldwell family farm. To their lives were added Joleen, Judy and Dawna. Bee lived and loved being a teacher and educator, starting as "Cookie” in the Huston schoolhouse. She continued as a para-professional in the Vallivue School District until her retirement in 1997, remembering each student and adapting her teaching to their specific needs. Bee developed a curriculum for teaching English as a Second Language. Glimpses of her bravery manifested into five trips into China, where she taught E.S.L. in her gentle, quiet manner at two different universities. Over the years she maintained connections with beloved students and children of her heart” including Maggie in San Antonio, TX, Weyman in Virginia and Leona in Canada. Bee was a passionate curriculum writer, meticulously authoring numerous Bible teaching aids and manuals, which are still being used.
