Aunt Booty

Dale's aunt, Beulah Marie (Cullison) Harry, passed away Monday morning August 9, at 8:25 am. We had just been told a week ago that she had lung cancer. Aunt Booty was not married and had no children. Dale, his mother, and his sister Bonnie were Booty's family. Dale was unable to help make the funeral arrangements so he asked if I would go with Bonnie to the funeral home. It was Aunt Booty's request to be cremated. She had very limited finances so this definitely helps with the expenses. A memorial service will be held for Aunt Booty Thursday afternoon in Westminster, MD. Last night we started cleaning out her apartment. In her one bedroom dresser drawer I found a recent 8 x 10 photograph that we'll use, along with photographs of when she was younger, for a display at the service. We ordered one beautiful bouquet of flowers that included yellow roses to help represent her. We will not have an urn with her ashes on display. Aunt Booty didn't want put in a box, or any kind of enclosure. Her ashes will be scattered soon after we receive them. Aunt Booty was known for her delicious peanut butter and chocolate fudge. When cleaning out her apartment we found the little pot she used to make her fudge. Bonnie told me to go ahead and take it. I actually need a pot that size and now I can be reminded of Aunt Booty each time I use it. It's comforting to know that Aunt Booty no longer has to suffer, and she can rest from her worldly cares.
