Graveside services for Beulah Serena (Dotson) Hess, are scheduled for 2:00 P.M., Saturday, August 30, 2025, at Graham cemetery, with Eugene Christian officiating. Services are under the care and direction of Alexander Gray Funeral Home in Healdton.
Beulah was born August 16, 1967, at Ardmore, to the late Mrs. Mildred Faye Dotson. She departed this life August 23, 2025, at OU Medical in Oklahoma City, OK.
A beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Beulah was cherished by those whose lives she touched with her vibrant spirit and unwavering love. Raised in Ringling, Beulah attended school in her hometown, where she fostered lifelong friendships and a strong sense of community. On August 30, 1985, she married the love of her life, Earnest Hess, at the Graham Assembly of God Church. Together, they began a journey filled with love and laughter, laying the foundation for a family that would become the center of Beulah's world.
In 1997, the couple made their home in Healdton, where Beulah dedicated herself to being a homemaker. Her days were spent nurturing and raising their three children. As her family grew, so did her joy, as she embraced her role as a grandmother with boundless enthusiasm, delighting in the opportunity to spoil her grandchildren and create cherished memories together. Beulah was known for her fiery personality and fierce protectiveness over her family. Aside from her dedication to family, Beulah had a profound love for adventure, particularly camping at the lake, where she would create lasting moments filled with laughter and connection.
Preceding her in death is her mother, Mildred Faye (Greggs) Dotson; daughter, Ashley Hess; grandchildren, Cash Hess and Cayden Hess; brother, William Dotson; sister, Connie Slawson.
Survivors include her husband, Earnest Hess of the home; daughters, Tiffany Hess and Leslie Hess both of Healdton; brother, Jonney Dotson and wife Thunchanok of Arnett, OK; grandchildren, Nicolas Hess and Anakin Turner; numerous nieces, nephews, other family and many friends.
Pallbearers will be Jeremy Lewis, Mason Turner, Bud Beavers, Ethan Dotson, David Watkins, and Chris McDowell.
