Beulah Mae Parker Pruitt, 77, of Dayton, Texas, passed away peacefully on July 1, 2025. Born on Jan. 23, 1948, in Corsicana, Texas, Beulah was the beloved daughter of Jessie Bartlett Parker and Estelle Ion Cooley.
Beulah was raised in Wortham and graduated from Wortham High School, where she was an avid athlete, playing both volleyball and basketball. She made Dayton her home for the past 48 years, becoming a cherished member of the community.
A compassionate and nurturing soul, Beulah devoted over 20 years to working in Home Health Care before retiring. She was known for her generous spirit, often gifting handmade crocheted blankets to family and friends. Her creativity and warmth were matched by her love for adventure—especially beach trips with her close-knit group of friends, affectionately known as the “Beach Babes.”
A devoted NASCAR fan, Beulah didn’t just watch from afar—she attended races for 20 years, cheering with enthusiasm and passion. Her spirited presence, sense of humor, and deep care for others left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
Beulah was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Mary Nan Tice. She leaves behind a loving family, including her sons, Billy Wilson and his wife Nancy, and Scott Pruitt and his wife Tiffany; her grandchildren, Meagan, Emily, Danielle, Samantha, Danny III, Bryan, Marrisa, Haven, and Ashley; and 15 great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy.
A graveside service to honor Beulah’s life will be held on Friday, July 11, 2025, at 2 p.m. at Magnolia Park Cemetery in Dayton.
Beulah’s legacy of love, laughter, and care will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
