Beulah Coombs Widmer, 79, of Morgantown, passed away, January “Friday the 13th” 2017, at UPMC Hospital in Shadyside Pittsburgh surrounded by loved ones, after a most courageous 10-year battle with cancer. She was born October 4th, 1937 in Morgantown to the late Ralph & Geraldine Coombs of Hildebrand. She was preceded in death by her only sibling, and most BELOVED brother, Dave Coombs, with whom she is now playing cards in heaven. Beulah was a 1955 graduate of Morgantown High School. She was the proud winner of the highest score in a 50-minute essay contest at MHS sponsored by General Mills in 1955 “to assist schools in building in young women a deeper appreciation and understanding of the American home, and personal qualities necessary to successful homemaking” and as such, she received a golden award pin and a Betty Crocker cookbook---in which she found her entire life to be hysterically ironic, because she hated to cook! Beulah was one of the original founders in the late 1960s of the PACE Association (People Aware of Children Exceptional) in Morgantown, which continues today to provide meaningful employment for individuals with disabilities. She owned and operated THE FURNITURE GALLEON, LTD at the triangle in Westover from 1979-1999, and was the first female owner of a furniture store in the state of West Virginia. She continuously brought her customers, a “NEW STORE EVERYDAY”, and strived to be a retailer in Westover for whom the community could be proud. She was a very active woman in civic duties throughout her life--- serving the local community at times as past President of the Westover Women’s club, a member of the Westover City Council, active representative in the Westover Civic Club, the Westover chapter of the Red Hats Society, and the Westover Senior Center (where she leaves behind several close friends that she enjoyed and admired.) She was the adored wife, partner, and friend to her surviving husband of nearly 60 years, Victor Widmer, of Morgantown. Along with her husband, she was able to visit several countries, states, islands, and spend the last 17 winters of her life in her treasured home in Ft. Myers, FL. Beulah was the proud and most loving mother to three daughters, all of Morgantown: Michelle Widmer-Eby, Milissa Jill Widmer, and Marcelle Widmer, for whom she provided the greatest example of wit, intelligence, perseverance, generosity, hilarity, courage, forgiveness, challenge, compassion, and glory. And, to whom she taught, profoundly, that LOVE is a verb. Her son-in-law, Steven Eby of Morgantown, was a willing participant in many of her crazy endeavors, and she loved him for it. She leaves behind two grandsons who remain the sun & the moon in her life and brought her much pleasure for the last 25 years, including teaching them to play her favorite card games, riding around in her golf cart in Ft. Myers, and encouraging them to participate in everything, but, be bystanders in very little. She is also survived by her close sister-in-law, Rita Coombs, her niece Carrie Coombs-Russell & family, Timothy Coombs & family, and Davey Coombs & family, ALL of whom kept her years on earth without her brother as a close and central part of the Coombs family. The Widmer family would like to thank her special friends, Natalie Kuehn & Shirley Giuliani, for their constant trips, visits and encouragement at UPMC over the last several months. We’d also like to thank her angels of healing: Dr. David Bartlett and team at UPMC Shadyside surgical oncology, Dr. Sobha Kurian of WVU Hospital oncology department, and Dr. William Mitchell of Wedgewood family practice. Family & Friends are welcome and invited to attend a celebration of her life, planned for Saturday, April 15th at 1 pm at the Hotel Morgan with Pastor Kevin Cain officiating. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Beulah’s honor to: Stepping Stones of Morgantown, 400 Mylan Park Lane, Morgantown WV 26501. McCulla Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements and online condolences may be extended to the family at www.mcculla.com.
