At an early age, Beulah attended Jones Chapel AME, where she gave her life to the Lord.

On August 18, 1973, Beulah was joined in holy matrimony to her high school sweetheart Willie James “Pigeon” Fleming.   Married for 45 years but together for more than 50 years, Beulah was always a kind, loving, sincere, and giving wife.  Together Poochie and Pigeon had two beautiful daughters, Stacy and Daveta.  She treasured her daughters and embraced every moment with them.  Beulah especially loved her role as Grandmother to her dearest grandson, Eric, who she nicknamed “Chucky”.   Beulah had a vivacious personality and always spoke her mind and truth.  She was known for bringing laughter and joy to everyone around her. Always the fashionista, Beulah was known for her keen fashion sense and style.
