Beulah Whitmire Robinson, so fondly known as ‘Boots,’ brings a warm feeling in the hearts of all who knew her. She and Gene were exceptional people whose shadows cast so many positive rays on so many lives. We were fortunate to have been in their shadows. Together again, Frances and Halbert, Gene and Beulah renew their friendship inside Heaven’s gates. We are comforted knowing they are in a better place. However, we certainly do miss them
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. It is difficult to lose a loved one, especially a parent. We know the last several months have been particularly difficult, but I’m sure that the presence of her family was a great comfort to her. I know that many at Steele Creek Presbyterian Church and particularly those in New Fellowship Class share in your grief. May God bless.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We worked with Boots for many years and are so sorry to hear of her passing. She was a lovely and precious lady and will be missed. Debbie English & Rosa Courtney
We loved having Boots in our Good Neighbor Circle at BUMC. She was friendly and open to all of us, even the younger women such as I. She always took time to see how we were doing each Sunday too. We received her Christmas card just a few days before her death… handwritten by her! We will miss her dearly!!! We love you Boots.
