She was also a good shepherd to the people of Rosendale with her cooking skills. A heaping plate of food would be shared with anyone lacking a holiday dinner, and a cake would appear for a child who might not have one for their birthday. Holidays at the Beattie home were always highlighted by wonderful meals complete with Grandma Beattie’s noodles and the love and laughter of 60 plus people.
