Carole Fay Beach

Born in Browning, MT, she moved with her family to Yakima, WA in 1948. Working for many years in the orchards and warehouses and also as a cashier for local businesses, Carole also was the UIA snack bar manager.

Carole loved camping, bowling, softball, and playing BINGO. She also supported her children and grandchildren in various sporting and life activities. Carole will always be the sponsor and heart of the softball teams of “Mom’s Tribe”, “Young Bucks" and Blackfeet Sweets. She loved being with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren because they were her life. She was known to her children’s friends as MOM or Grandma because of her kind and loving heart! We will miss her laugh and hugs.
