Beulah was an avid Saints and LSU fan. She enjoyed many kinds of sports especially playing cabbage ball at St. Roch Park and bowling at Paradise Bowling Lanes. She was a homemaker, owned Hideout Lounge, and owned Bee’s Amusements. She was a parishioner of Memorial Baptist Church where she enjoyed singing in the choir. She loved playing piano and spent many days volunteering her time playing for the residents of a local retirement facility. She also worked as a driver for Enterprise Car Rentals. She is well known for her love of dogs and cats. She could never leave a stray behind. She was a multifaceted strong, loving, kind, and caring woman with many talents, who will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. We know you are in heaven playing the piano and singing with the angels. Rest in Peace!
