    Rest in Power my old friend. I will forever remember our friendship while in high school in Florida. I often think back fondly of those years and how you were one of the nicest, most genuine people I had ever met. I only wish we had connected and spoken in recent years so I could have told you how much I had admired your kindness and patience.

  4. My heart aches because I have lost a special friend. She was a light, shining in the darkest areas of life. Whenever she came into a room, everyone felt the spontaneous joy she shared. I know that she is in a better place, without pain or tears. I love you, Beulah. You will always hold a place ion my heart. Every GNO we will share a drink to celebrate our knowing you.

  5. I am greatly saddened to hear of Beulah’s passing. She was always someone in High school I looked forward to spending time with. A beauty with a heart of gold. I had hoped that our paths would cross again. She will be missed!

    My dear cousins Erica and Evan my heart is broken to learn of your beautiful Mom’s passing. She was such a beautiful person inside and out. She was a ‘Hallmark’ Mom, always giving her very best for her family.

    My mother, the late Maude Carlington, and Beulah’s mother, the late Betty Carlington Horton were sisters both born and raised in Bermuda and were inseperable. My mom and Aunt Betty has a sister named Aunt Beulah also and that’s who your mom was named after.

    Your mom and I last talked about her planning to bring you all home to Bermuda to visit and meet your Bermudian family. I promised her that I would take you around to meet them and that promise will stand for whenever you decide to come home for a visit.

    Erica and Evan I pray that God would wrap His loving arms around you and your families and give you peace and comfort for the many years to come. Take comfort in knowing that Christ has promised to come back and reunite us with our Mothers one day soon. I love you all

    All my love and prayers – Aunt Glenda

  9. I worked with Beulah and her quick wit and smile made you have a great day! She was a kind, loving woman and she will be missed. Words are sometimes inadequate when sharing feelings but memories hold everything. “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor touched but are felt in the heart.” I hope you find comfort in all of those wonderful memories.” May you feel the warm embrace of the Holy Spirit as she is laid to rest and you all find peace.

    Beulah, we are still in disbelief that you are not with us. You were such a special part of the Rawls family for over 34+ years. During those times we made so many memories and shared lots of good times together. Our children growing up together and grandchildren beging born too!
    You would have arts and crafts for them to do when they spent the night.
    You were the love of our brother’s life! My heart is aching for his loss!
    I know that you both loved those grandbabies, so much!
    You were such a special person and a wonderful part of our family.
    I still the backyard barbeques and your signature “ambrosia” that we all loved.
    You may not be here physically, but you will always live on in our hearts and minds!
    We will continue to pray for Erica, Evan and the entire family.
    RIP ❤️

    The Entire Rawls Family

    I had the honor of working with Beulah. She was a dedicated and truly caring person. I’m grateful to have known her.

  19. Dr. Audrey Nance Prestonsoto

    My Dearest Beulah,
    I am still in disbelief that we will no longer be able to see your sweet face and laugh with you on Facebook. I still remember all the good times and laughter we shared in High School. Although we hadn’t seen each other in years, just reading your comments about the love you had for your family and friends assured me that your kind and sweet demeanor had not changed throughout the years.

    May God cover your family during this time and soothe their grief. May His love shower them with peace. You are missed.

Leave Your Condolence
