Born on June 29, 1956, in Talladega, Alabama, to James Walter Burt and Bessie Mae Fuller Burt, Beulah spent her life rooted in the community she loved.

Beulah was passionately devoted to her faith and served as an usher at Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church, where she was a familiar and welcoming presence to all who entered.

She graduated from Talladega High School and dedicated many years of hard work to Wehadkee Yarn Mill. Her commitment and strong work ethic were admired by her colleagues and supervisors alike.

Known for her kind heart and gentle spirit, she found joy in baking, cooking, shopping, reading, and gardening. Her kitchen was often filled with the delightful aromas of her homemade treats, which she generously shared with family and friends.

Beulah is survived by her devoted husband, Harold K. Long, who stood faithfully by her side throughout their marriage. Her legacy lives on through her daughters: Rondreaca Burt of Monroe, LA and her dad Ronnie Richardson of Talladega, AL, Sharrica Burt (Reggie) Chatman of Talladega, AL and LaShanette Lawler Garrett of San Antonio, TX. She leaves behind her treasured grandchildren: Taliyah Bennett of Monroe, LA, Kaylin Burt and Crystal Burt of Talladega, AL, Dexter Smoot of Munford, AL, Amiyah Garrett of San Antonio, TX and Ja'Niyah Burt, Khaled Ragland and Reggie Chatman, Jr. of Talladega, AL. Her joy extended to her great-grandchildren: Legend Burt, Ja'Kylan Young, Josiah Smoot, and KyOmi Smoot.

Beulah is also survived by a large and loving family including her sisters: Dorothy (Anthony) Curry, Sharon (Frederick) Faulkner, Mary Charles Calhoun, Beverly Tanner, Chandra R. Swain, Vera T. (Buford) Curry, Angelina Griffin, JoAnn Player, Shirley Curry and Faye Richardson all of Talladega, AL and Hattie Richardson, all of Atlanta, GA. Her brothers: Joseph (Joyce) Burt and John (Lou Alice) Burt of Talladega, AL, Larry (Gree) Richardson of Tuscaloosa, AL and Mike (Donna) Richardson of Las Vegas, NV will also miss her dearly. Her life was further enriched by numerous nieces, Kizzy Twymon, Dinah Palmer, Angela Martin, Marteen Blue, Shawana Beavers and Erica Gordon. Along with a host of cousins and friends, including her special friends, Carolyn Battle and Nancy Taylor.

Beulah Mae Burt Long, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend departed this life on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 in Talladega, Alabama. She was 70 years old.
