Beulah Queen

Canton – Beulah Crawford Queen, 99, passed away on Friday, December 06, 2019 at Haywood Regional Medical Center.

Beulah was born in Blairsville, Georgia and was a daughter of the late Burt and Mary Jane Odom Crawford.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Dewey Queen, who died in 2004; and a grandson, Joel Queen.  Beulah was the oldest member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church and worked as a cook in the cafeteria of Haywood County Public School System.

Beulah was a unique example of a Godly, loving wife, mother, (mama), mamaw & friend.  She exhibited a sweet, kind and loving spirit. Beulah was always a lady who forgave easily and responded with love.  Her smile was infectious to everyone she met, making Beulah Queen, an unforgettable woman.

Beulah entered heaven’s gates with grace after persevering through life’s journey, leaving her legacy for others to follow.  She especially enjoyed her time with her family, her friends at Juke Box Junction and spending time with her sweet, special friends and caregivers at Smoky Mountain Nursing and Rehab.

A special memory of Beulah’s was to have had the opportunity to appear on television.
