Beulah Mae Leavelle gained her heavenly wings in the presence of her loving family on Thursday December 20, 2018 at Sentara Norfolk General hospital.
Beulah was born March 1951 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky to the late Green and Sudie Leavelle. She received her education at Christian County High School and later attended Kee Business College in Norfolk, Virginia. She was a volunteer at the Chesapeake Redevelopment and Housing Authorities. She later became an Administrative Assistant for the CRHA for several years. Beulah better known as “Ms. Bea “was truly loved by everyone she met.
She was the beloved mother to her children Tammy Taylor and her husband (Michael) of Portsmouth, VA. Shavonda Jackson and her husband (Troy) of Chesapeake, VA and son Lerenzo Leavelle and his wife (Nicole) of Norfolk, VA. She was the proud grandmother of 14, Kiara, Kiavi, JaMes, Shakiyla, Deja, Jeda, Kalil, Jalil, Latia, Makeen, Breanna, Alexis, and Khadijah. She was also blessed with six great grandchildren; Kevin, Kyle, Jade, Genesis, Lani and Elijah. She is survived by her two brothers Bennie and Guthrie Leavell, as well as numerous other nieces, nephews, family members and friends. She sincerely loved them all.
In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her two older brothers; Jerry Kendrick and Jessie Leavell, as well as her two sons Dexter and Mario Leavelle.
She was a born again Christian and very strong in her faith and was always willing to help others when she could. She never hesitated to open her home to the children growing up in her neighborhood. Everyone knew that you could always depend on her for a hot meal and a few kind words especially during the holidays. She will always be remembered for her big heart, affectionate spirit, and her love for gardening.

December 29, 2018 at 3:00 pmI was and still am at a lost for words….It feels like a dream, pinch me to wake up. Ms. B was the most down to earth person I have ever met. We met and Super glued this mother / daughter bond we had. Every kid in the neighborhood called her grandma! It was nothing for her to have many kids sitting at her kitchen table because homemade food always Smelled good coming from her house! THANKS for all the recipes shared with me too. Smiles! I can go on on on! I will truly miss Mama B and cherish the last voicemail she left. Her conversations and memories will forever be in my mind and heart! LOVE you Ms. B
