In 1939, B.J. as she was affectionately called and her family, moved to East Baltimore. The family settled at 2016 E. Preston Street, where she resided for over sixty-five years until her illness.

Beulah accepted Christ at an early age in Virginia where she attended Paradise African Methodist Episcopal Church. Upon her arrival to Baltimore, Beulah joined Faith Baptist Church. She was a member of the Sunday School, Junior Choir and the Baptist Young Peoples Union.

B.J. received her education from the Baltimore City Public Schools Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School and graduated in 1951 from Carver Vocational High School.
