Beulah Mae Wilson (Lebanon)'s Obituary
Beulah Mae Wilson, daughter of Ing and Rosa Ellan Craft Rice, was born December 24, 1928, in Flemington, Kentucky. She departed this life Wednesday, February 29, 2012, in Christian Health Care South, in Lebanon, Missouri, at the age of eighty-three years, two months, and seven days.
On May 1, 1948, she was united in marriage to Glennis Luther “Curly” Wilson, and they shared sixty-four years before his passing on July 20, 2002.
She was also preceded in death by her parents; an infant son, Gerald Wilson; a stepdaughter, Wanda Sue Wilson; two stepsons, Wayne and Larry Wilson; a brother, Clarence Rice; and a sister, Jeanie Stone.
Beulah is survived by a sister, Mary Muse, of Dayton, Ohio; two great-nieces that she considered like daughters, Kelli Munholland, and Mike Conway, and Tasha Moore, and her husband, Tony, all of Lebanon, Missouri; a nephew, Dean Munholland, of Lebanon, Missouri; two great-nephews, Gene Munholland, and his wife, Anna, and Deanie Munholland, and his wife, Julie, all of Lebanon, Missouri; a sister-in-law, Dicie Decker, of Lebanon, Missouri; several other nieces and nephews; a special friend, Judy Pierce, of Lebanon, Missouri; as well as a host of other relatives and friends.
She was born and raised in Kentucky, and graduated from high school there. She then lived in Dayton, Ohio, where she and Curly made their home for many years after they were married. Throughout those years, Beulah was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family. In 1978, she and Curly moved to Lebanon, Missouri and made their home. Beulah worked at H. D. Lee Company for a time and then was employed by Oxford Home Health Care for several years.
Beulah was saved at the age of fourteen, and rededicated her life to Christ in 1980, when she joined Crossroads Freewill Baptist Church. She possessed a deep abiding faith, and taught Sunday school at Crossroads for several years.
In her spare time, she enjoyed bowling, playing the piano, and writing gospel songs. She had a loving and caring personality, but was also very outspoken.
Beulah was a loving sister, aunt, and great-aunt, and was a concerned neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and know that her family and friends will cherish the wonderful memories she created for them throughout her lifetime.
