Beulah was a native of Pilottown, LA before moving to Empire, LA. Due to the destruction of her residence in Empire after Katrina, she moved to Bay Towers in Pascagoula, MS and then to Qua Paw Assisted Living in Hot Springs AR to be close to her daughter. Upon her daughter’s passing, she then moved to Sumrall, MS to be near her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
She was a recent resident at Magnolia Place Retirement Home. A special and heartfelt thanks goes to the multiple caregivers of the facility and Solace Hospice Healthcare.
Beulah attended Port Sulphur Baptist Church prior to relocating to Pascagoula. She was a strong dedicated Christian wherever she resided and was a member of Arlington Heights Baptist Church.

She will be remembered and missed greatly by her many relatives and friends she made during her life's journey.

A quote used for her daughters passing is appropriate today:
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me please try to understand,
an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
The angel said my place is ready, in Heaven above,
and that I have to leave behind those I dearly love.
But when I walked through Heavens Gates, I felt so much at home, for God looked down,
smiled at me, and told me "Welcome Home."
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we are far apart,
for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.
