Beulah was born on December 8, 1935, in Cass Lake, Minnesota, to James and Ethel (Bisson) McKeig. She grew up in Cass Lake with her siblings.

Beulah came back to the northland and settled in Akeley with her son Alan. Beulah enjoyed her later years attending rummage sales and searching for treasure in second-hand stores.
