KINGSFORD — Dale R. Beaulier, 92, of Kingsford, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Monday, June 16, 2025, at Evergreen Assisted Living in Kingsford where he was well cared for and loved by the staff.
Dale was born April 15, 1933, in Kingsford, son of the late Alex Beaulier and Violet (Meyer) Hughes. He graduated from Kingsford High School in 1951 and was a lifelong resident of the area. Dale married his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Ruth Federspiel, on Jan. 15, 1955, at American Martyrs Catholic Church; she preceded him in death on Jan. 12, 2019.
Dale proudly served 26 years in the Michigan Army National Guard. He and his son, Tim, co-owned and operated Beaulier Building Center in Kingsford, a business that they founded in 1983. He was a member of Maranatha Assembly of God. Dale was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting, fishing, camping, boating, snowmobiling, and maple syrup production. He was also a skilled woodworker. Above all, he cherished family time, and truly enjoyed his grandchildren’s sporting events and activities.
