Luella was born June 13, 1920, on a farm southeast of Cushing, the third of six children born to Herman and Christina (Clausen) Wiese.

On Deb. 25, 1938, she married Melvin Eldon Beers in Sioux City. To this union four children were born, Karen, Marlene, Byron and Duane. The couple farmed south of Correctionville until retiring in 1983, when they moved into Cushing.

She was a member of Grace United Methodist Church. The couple enjoyed many years of fishing, dancing, golfing, playing cards, being snowbirds for 26 winters in Mesa, Ariz., and summers in Cushing. This made it possible to spend lots of time with many friends and family members. She had been residing at Char-Mac in Lawton the past five and one half years.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years; her parents; and a sister, Hermina Wiese of Holstein.
