Beulah M Gilchrist McCaskill

Beulah M. Gilchrist McCaskill, 84, passed away at Mercy New Life Hospice on May 19, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. surrounded by her children as she entered into the arms of Jesus Christ.

She was born to Hector and Ruth Gilchrist, of Maxton, North Carolina, on August 10, 1940. She graduated from school at an early age of 16. Later she moved to Lorain, Ohio, following her aunt.

She worked at Electro Alloy in Elyria, Ohio from 1973 to 2001 when she retired. Beulah enjoyed playing bingo, sewing, crocheting doilies and blankets, but her most favorite thing to do was to get in the yard and plant flowers to see the life and beauty they bring. Beulah had an unapologetic sharp tongue, whether you liked it or not she would tell you the truth!

She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her daughters Michelle McCaskill Burch of Lorain OH, Beverly (John) McLean of Maxton NC, and Barbara Land of Lorain OH; granddaughters Jocelyn Burch oh Lorain OH and Misha P. McLean of Fayetteville NC; great grands E’Livia Stubbs, Aniyah Hursey, Jeremias Stubbs, Kayden Stubbs, and Zaryha White; a cousin/brother James Bryant Hailey of Maxton NC, and a host of nieces and nephews.

Beulah was preceded in death by her daughter Rhonda Land, son Kenneth Land, granddaughter Na’Tasha “Peanut” McCaskill, brother Henry Gilchrist, sisters Ruthie Gilchrist and Carolyn Gilchrist, parents Hector Gilchrist and Ruth Gilchrist, and son-in-love Ottomus Wright.

Visitation will be on Monday, June 2, 2025, from 7:00 pm until 8:00 pm at Brown-Robinson Funeral Home and Celebration Center, 6075 Middle Ridge Road, Lorain OH 44053.
