Obituary, Kennebec Journal (Augusta, ME), 28 May 2008:

Attleboro, Mass. -- Beulah Carrigan Crosby, 91, passed away on Saturday, May 24, 2008, at Life Care Center of Attleboro.

She was the wife of the late William W. Crosby, to whom she was married for 57 years until his death in 1999.

She was predeceased by a sister, Constance C. Coughlin, and a brother, William F. Carrigan Jr., both formerly of Maine.

Beulah resided at Canterbury Woods, Garfield Avenue, Attleboro, for the past six years, and Riverside, R.I., for 57 years prior to that.

Born in Lewiston, Maine, she was the daughter of the late William F. and Beulah B. Carrigan.

Her father played for and managed the Boston Red Sox for several years, including the 1915 and 1916 teams that won back-to-back World Series championships, and whose star was the legendary Babe Ruth. Beulah and her siblings spent many summers in Boston watching their father manage the team.

She graduated from Lewiston High School in Maine; Colby-Sawyer College, New London, N.H., and the Chamberlain Business School, Boston, prior to working for several years as a buyer at Gladdings Department Store in Providence, R.I.

Beulah spent most summers at her Lake Annabessacook camp in Winthrop, Maine, enjoying family, friends and nature. She was always active, enjoying many hobbies including bridge, painting, horses, tennis and golf. She was a member of many Rhode Island civic organizations and clubs, serving as a Skating Club of Rhode Island board member for several years and running the "Cob Web" thrift store for Riverside Congregational Church. She loved traveling with her husband, Bill, and her sister and brother-in-law, Connie and Gene Coughlin.

Beulah is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Patricia and Thomas A. Gruppioni, of North Attleborough; three grandchildren, Stephen A. Gruppioni, of Boston, and Kelly C. and Casey E. Gruppioni, both of North Attleborough; seven nieces and nephews from Maine, New Hampshire and Oregon; 15 great-nieces and nephews; and 15 great-great-nieces and nephews.

Memorial donations may be made to the Hockomock Area YMCA Endowment Fund, 300 Elmwood St., North Attleborough, MA 02760.
