Burial will be at Mt. Olivet Cemetery Hugo Ernestine was born Dec. 10, 1923 in Bruno, Okla. Her parents were Jim and Chloe (Hargrove) Horn. She grew up on a farm in Centerpoint, Okla., and had so many wonderful memories of those days. She went to grade school in Centerpoint and then to Atoka for high school. She met our father, W.J. Beach in Centerpoint. They married July 19, 1941 in Antlers, Okla. They traveled back and forth between Oklahoma and Arizona. They had eight children, five boys and three girls. She was truly a woman as described in Proverbs 31:10-31. She was an excellent seamstress, made clothing for herself and all her children, a wonderful cook, worked diligently at all she did, and she could do anything. Everything she did was with grace, love and kindness. She loved to play games, and more than that she liked to win! She had years of pleasure playing with her children and grandchildren. (Most grandparents would let their children and grandchildren win, but not Ernestine!) Our father passed away in 1980. In 1990 she married the one and only Mack Thomas Jeffrey. They had 20 wonderful years of marriage before his passing. Mack and all his family were loved and adored by mom and her whole family.
