Beulah was born in on March 29, 1931, in San Juan, Texas, to William Alexander Graham and Carrie Anice Thomas Graham, one of twelve children. She grew up in San Juan until the family moved to Edcouch. Beulah graduated from Edcouch High School in 1948. She was married soon after graduation and had six children.

Beulah worked in the administration department at Edcouch ISD for a few years and Progreso ISD for many years. She enjoyed administration and was took pride in her detailed and impeccable penmanship and grammar skills. Beulah also studied shorthand at Pan American University for two years.

When the children were grown, she took over the family dry cleaning business, Fabri Care, which she successfully owned and operated for many years in downtown Weslaco.

Beulah had many hobbies. She was very active in the First Baptist Church of Weslaco and a member of the choir. She enjoyed sewing and crocheting. Beulah liked sports and was a Texas Tech football fan. By far, her favorite past time, before Facebook and Twitter, was her CB radio. Beulah went by the handle of “Stormy,” and she had quite the fan club. She spent many evenings on her CB radio and met lots of entertaining friends along the way. Beulah was able to meet many of her radio friends in person over the years. She was no stranger to technology, adopting Facebook and Twitter before most people knew what it was. She had over 6100 followers on twitter and enjoyed the open and public platform where she could voice her opinion.
