Beulah Mae HILLIS

Rock Island, TN resident and Van Buren County, TN native Beulah Mae Hillis, age 87, was born January 6, 1923 and died July 12, 2010 at Raintree Manor. Ms. Hillis had been at Raintree Manor nursing home since March of 2009. She was a life-long resident of the Rocky River Community in Van Buren County and was preceded in death by her parents, Dalton and Eliza Martin Hillis and five siblings, Lonnie, Charlie and Arthur Hillis, Eula Yates and Lena Hillis. She is survived by several nieces, nephews and cousins. Ms. Hillis worked for approximately fifteen years at Genesco. She was hard working, what some would call a mountain woman, because of her work ethics. She worked long hours on the farm and was always tasked to take care of her family as they grew older, until only she was left with no one to care for her. She was never married, but she was dearly loved. She was a long-time member of the Church of Christ at Crain Hill as long as services were held there. Funeral service was held at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, July 15, 2010 in High's Chapel with Gene Brock officiating. Burial followed in Crain Hill Cemetery.
