BEULAH TORIAN MIDDLEBURY- The Spirit we called Beulah E. Torian, after 93 years left her body, Sunday, January 5, 2014 at Helen Porter Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center where she had resided for the past year. Born September 20, 1920 in Montpelier, Idaho, she was the daughter of the late P.B. Edson Skiff and Helen M. (Gould) Skiff. Beulah was a graduate of Washington High School, Los Angeles, CA and Santa Barbara Teachers College, class of 1942. She lovingly shared her knowledge at Pacific Ackworth Friends School for many of her years spent as a teacher. She moved to Middlebury in 1985 and was a member of the Middlebury Friends Meeting House. She worked with Project Independence for a short time after coming to Middlebury. She journeyed upon many paths and was a true nurturer of spirit where ever she went. In her later years she succumbed to the pain and depression of arthritis and the immobility it brought with it. Now that she has transitioned into her next possibility, she can be remembered for her love of dancing and mountaineering. She loved nature and has hiked to the tops of more mountains then one can easily name. She was artistic and loved working with clay and water colors. She was an avid reader and loved cat stories. Beulah is survived by one daughter, Barbara Torian and her husband, Tim Bouton of New Haven; one son, Tim Torian and his partner Reya Shante of Visalia, CA; one sister, Louise Andrus of Coeur dAlene, ID; one grandson, Andrew Bouton of New Haven. In addition to her parents she was predeceased by a brother, Edson Skiff. A memorial service will be conducted at a later date. Memorial donations may be made to Home Health and Hospice P.O. Box 754, Rt. 7, Middlebury, Vermont 05753 or Project Independence, 112 Exchange St. Middlebury, VT 05753. www.sandersonfuneralservice.com
