Beulah Evelyn Robbins

She married the love of her life, James Robbins, on July 15, 1967, and he preceded her in death on December 1, 2006.

Beulah was the beloved matriarch of her family, a steady and loving presence whose home was always filled with warmth and welcome. She took great joy in bringing people together, sharing laughter, stories, and her many famous dishes, especially her delicious fruit cake. Her home, and her table, were places where memories were made and everyone felt cared for.

She found happiness in life's simple pleasures: reading a good book, crocheting, tending to her beautiful garden, watching Atlanta Braves baseball games, and playing cards. Above all, she treasured time spent with family and dear friends. She will be remembered for her quick wit, gentle honesty, compassionate heart, spontaneous laughter, and the sweet, comforting way she made everyone feel at home.

She is survived by her daughters Beverly Havens and Rachel Sparks, son Bill Barnette, Jr.; step-daughter, Rebecca Harris, a large and loving family of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, as well as many cherished cousins, nieces, and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, James; her daughters, Sandra Sue Fleenor, Margaret Barnette, Doris Holmes, Marcia St. Marie and Norma Hess; grandchildren, Loretta Fleenor, Chris Palmer, Johnny Holmes, Joey Holmes, Shawn Riddle, Shane Riddle, Tammy Minton, and Wendy Havens; sisters Elsie Holmes and Shirley Priddy; and brother in infancy, Glen.
