Birth date: Jun 2, 1922 Death date: Jul 20, 2020
SAMPLES, BEAULAH LOUISE, age 98 at time of death, entered eternal life on July 20, 2020 to join her Lord and loved ones. She came here in mid-1988, upon retirement from Palm Beach County’s educational system. Beaulah was born June Read Obituary
I was thumbing thru a 1974 Leonard yearbook, marveling at how the world has changed, and ran across Miss Sample's photo. She was my English teacher I think in 11th grade (morning session) and was tough but fair. I think she wrote in my yearbook "Wake Up Pat!" That morning session was tough. I was pleased to see that she lived a long and fulfilling life, and evidently taught until her mid 70s! One of America's unsung heroes. Godspeed.
Miss Samples was my English teacher at JILHS in 1975. She made a lasting impression on me and I will always remember her kind nature. Sad to learn of her passing.
Beulah was my writing teacher in 1976. Our school sponsored a week long "Seceret Pal" fund raiser where they would deliver a daily gift of kindness.She was puzzled, then delighted to learn it was ME! She wrote in my senior yearbook, "Dear Angie, You wont ever be forgot, 'cause you are only leaving school, NOT ME! Call Me!" I did as instructed and the friendship remained all these years.We shared the same middle name and shared it again with my daughter. Beulah moved to "Bonnie Glynn" to be close to her sister, Bertie Mamie. Thankfully, she was blessed with AWESOME NEIGHBORS that she loved as family! THANK You Deb and Vicki for your kindness and devotion.
I always enjoyed my visits. We would chat 'til we could barley keep our eyes open. Many, many stories about her family, previous employers, former students and staff members and the greatness of God our Father.
I loved my dear friend Beulah and I am very happy that she is at peace!.

Beulah was my aunt, my father’s sister, and I have memories of her as a child in Alabama and as a child and early adult in Florida. I remember family get togethers and Sunday meals when all my aunts uncles and cousins would get together when we all lived in Alabama. Later Beulah moved to the east coast of Florida and was instrumental in having my father come to Florida to begin a new phase of his career. Subsequently, we moved and once again we were sharing Sunday meals. Beulah was an English teacher and a pretty strict one at that. I observed one of her classes while in college and she was tough. Later in life I was on a school outing with one of my daughters and the teacher asked me if I was related to Beulah. She shared with me that Beulah was the only teacher to grade her less than an “A”. I remember going with my dad to help with projects at Beulah’s first house in West Palm Beach. I reconnected with Beulah for a while after my father’s death and drove her back to that house so she could see it. Pleasantly, although the neighborhood was no longer as nice as it once was, her house was still the gem of the street. She was so pleased to see it in such good condition. Over time we lost touch but a few years ago we began sending some short notes and photos to one another and did a little catching up. Unfortunately, she stopped responding to my letters and we lost touch again. My wish for you my dear aunt is for God to shine his light upon you and give you peace.

Aunt Beulah was a loving aunt who I adored. As an older teen and young man I spent a week with her each summer. She was a great lady and touched the lives of many in a positive way. I will miss you and will always love you. Jim
Aunt Beulah, I loved you all my life and enjoyed every moment I was ever with you. I will miss you so much. God keep you in His arms and watch over me from heaven. I love you. Jim.
Beulah L. Samples was simply Aunt Beulah to me. She was my Dad's sister. She was also my Mom's best friend. It was Beulah who introduced my Mom & Dad. We saw a lot of her after she moved to South Florida. She raised Persian cats and gifted me with two of them on my 16th birthday. In the early 70's I moved to California and lost track of some family members but was happy to reconnect with Beulah at my Dad's funeral. I also reconnected with her upon her move to the Fountains. Apparently she had stopped contact with several family members but I was able to assure her that she had family who loved and cared about her. My husband visited her when in Florida on business and I was able to FaceTime with her thru him.
Beulah was a strong, smart, independent woman. I am grateful to her friend Deb for helping her in her final years and for keeping me in the loop as Beulah's health declined.
God Bless and Keep you Dear Aunt!

My first interaction directly with Beulah was at the club's spaghetti dinner. My husband and I sat next to her and she thoroughly made the evening. She was so charming and interesting, very intelligent. The world has lost a gem.
Hello my beautiful friend, who knew 15 years ago you would become an important part of my life? You were my neighbor and then my friend. You saw in me something and kept me close to your heart. The past few years I was there for you and I pray, I brought some happiness to your life. I so wish I could of said goodbye, but that is being selfish. The lord came in the night and took you home granting your final wish. I am sad, but rejoice in the fact you will no longer suffer the restraints of this earth. Love you!
