The Beaulieu and Ryckman families sadly announce the passing of our sweet and sassy Wife/Mom/Grammy/Gigi, Grace Eleanor Beaulieu, on Monday, December 18, 2023. Grace was born in Elizabethtown, NY on June 16, 1945. She was married to her loving husband, Edward Samuel Beaulieu on July 2, 1965, and they were in their 59th year together.

Grace had many hobbies throughout the years, and she excelled at them all. She was a scholarship winning artist, a master gardener, a home-based baker, a seamstress, an expert African Violet grower (who supplied many floral shops with her plants), and an Antique vendor with an exceptional eye for quality and value. She was an extremely talented person.

She is survived by her husband: Edward, her children: Diane, June (Ron), and Jerry (Melissa) as well as her grandchildren: Mason, Christopher, Kathryn, and Steven in addition to five great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, a brother and two sisters; she is survived by an older brother and a younger seester.

Grace was active in her retirement years. She worked alongside her husband Edward at Bass church of Christ (AR), leading the Golden Years Senior Class at Northside church of Christ (AR), and attending the church of Christ at Foristell (MO). Of the many hats she wore Grace’s greatest pride was her family. She was a very proud matriarch who ran a ‘tight ship’ but enjoyed all the love and crazy that family entails. Her final years were spent in the chaos and confines of Frontotemporal Dementia which took her spark from us far before her physical departure. She is now at peace.

The family has requested that remembrances be made in the form of contributions to:
