Beulah B. Robinson

BEULAH BELL SYKES ROBINSON quietly went from labor to reward on February 19, 2015. Beulah was born August 12, 1924 and was raised in Southampton County, Virginia where she attended Southampton County Public Schools. She continued her education at the Apex Beauty Academy in Richmond, Virginia. Beulah was raised in a Christian home by parents who studied The Word and strongly believed in The Power of God and His Greatness. She was a member of Pleasant Grove Baptist Church where she participated in many church activities. One of her most cherished activities was being a member of the church choir and singing to God's glory. She also traveled as a guest soloist to neighboring churches. Beulah married Alexander Robinson on January 4, 1944 in Greenville County, Virginia. From this union were born Alexander and Sheri. Beulah enjoyed being with and helping people and was employed with the City of Baltimore as a School Crossing Guard. Keeping her eyes on His "Prize"she continued nurturing her faith at Antioch Baptist Church in Greenville County, Virginia. Then, in October 1955 Alexander, Beulah and the children moved to Brooklyn, New York and found a new church home at Cornerstone Baptist Church. In the Spring of 1960, the family moved again to Baltimore, Maryland and joined Mt. Pleasant Church and years later joined Gillis Christian Community Church where she served as a Deaconess and a Missionary. Beulah's family and friends will have fine memories of a woman who loved her Lord and Savior with ALL her heart. We, who are left behind, will cherish the years the Lord gave us with her and simultaneously give thanks for the ninety years He blessed the earth with her presence and the lives she touched. She leaves to mourn: her devoted son, Alexander; daughter, Sheri; daughter-in-law, Wendy Parker Robinson; granddaughter, Danielle Nicole Robinson-Jones; grandson, Daryl Alexander McCrea; great-grandchildren, Parker Brooklyn and Paige Alexander Jones; grandson-in-law, Eric 1. Jones; brother-in-law, Dallas O. Jones; goddaughters, Deborah Williams and Marilyn Clayton; many nieces, nephews and cousins in Virginia, Florida, New York, Ohio, Texas, California, Georgia and North Carolina; devoted friend, Reverend Jeanette Fitzgerald; Anita Curry of Splendid Home Care and the Splendid Home Care Family.
