Beulah lived a long, happy and inspirational life dedicated to Christ and her family. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend. Beulah was a lifelong member of Hardy Central Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday school for many years and sang in the choir until she was 80.
She served as Treasurer and Director of Bridgebuilders Prison Ministry for more than two decades and went weekly to minister to and share her love for a God of redemption and second chances with the inmates. Beulah opened her heart and her home to many friends and relatives throughout the years and served as a loving foster mother for the County of Henrico for over 10 years. Despite suffering from polio, Beulah overcame her mobility limitations and went on to live her best life.
