MacCOLL, Beulah - Passed peacefully away at Fiddick's Nursing Home, Petrolia on Monday, April 14. Beulah Sarah Jane (Fisher) MacColl was the beloved wife of the late Hugh (Barney) MacColl (1989). Beulah was born on February 05, 1913 on the 10th Line East (Petrolia Line) to Margaret (McLean) and Walter Fisher. She attended church in her early years at St. Andrew's Brooke and Enniskillen United Church and attended school on the Tenth Line. In her early twenties she moved to Regina to live with her grandfather George Fisher. Upon returning she met and married her husband Barney in 1938 and lived in Petrolia. They purchased a house on Greenfield Street in 1947 where she lived until 2003 when she moved to Fiddick's Retirement Home. Shortly after Barney's illness in the 50's she returned to high school and completed her commercial diploma, then obtaining employment at a local bank until he was able to return to work at Polymer several years later.

In her 80's she learned to tole paint and spent many enjoyable hours painting various projects. She loved to knit and continued this hobby until the last month of her life.
