Beulah was a longtime member of The First Baptist Church in Wooster, Ohio where she taught children’s Sunday school class, sang in the choir, lead the morning worship singing and was a faithful wife to Ermon.   Beulah is survived by her loving husband and children; Debbie (Rudy) Moser of Orrville; Dean (Teresa) French of Wooster; Randy (Shie) French of Ashland; David (Christine) Ellis of Shreve; Roger (Diane) Ellis of Orrville; and James Ellis of Wooster.
