BETH IRMA SQUIRES RED CLIFF POSTMASTER.
Best known as Red Cliff's gatekeeper, Beth SQUIRES died quietly at her home late Sunday, Nov. 26, 1995.
It suffices to say she will be missed.
Beth served as the town's postmaster for many years, walking to work each morning, raising the flag and keeping folks posted on whatever might be happening in town. A life-long Red Cliff resident, Beth was always quick to remind one that despite the town's long winters, she always felt lucky to live in such a pretty place, where the skies were usually blue and the air was clean. A person usually left the post office in a better mood.
Beth worked until the day she suffered a stroke three weeks ago. She was 81.
She was born July 2, 1914 in Red Cliff, the daughter of Joseph Robert and Henrietta Mae (Vincent) GILMER. She was married to Haymond [sic Raymond] (Rocky) Stewart SQUIRES Oct. 8, 1939, in Saguache, Colo. He preceded her in death in 1961.
Beth belonged to the Neighbors of Wood Craft Club. She was a life-long member of the Red Cliff Presbyterian Church, and was well known for getting up at the crack of dawn on Sundays to bake cream puffs for church. One morning she looked out to discover a bear at her window, who was obviously as fond of the aroma as everybody else.
She is survived by a son, Bill (Mary) of Red Cliff; and a daughter Sara DAVIS (Jerry) of Durango. Her grandchildren are Jill DAVIS and Kevin and Stewart SQUIRES.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 2 at the Red Cliff gym. Contributions may be made in her memory to Red Cliff Presbyterian Church, Eagle Street, Red Cliff,CO 81649.
