In Loving Memory of Percell Beale

April 8, 1942 - September 01, 2024

Percell Beale was born on April 8, 1942, in the New Light section of Princess Anne County, Virginia Beach, VA. He was the third son of the late Roosevelt Beale Sr. and Elnora Walston (Jasper) and the 24th grandchild of the late Rev. Johnny and Hattie McCoy.

Percell was a proud graduate of Union Kempsville High School, class of 1958. For over 40 years, he, along with his brothers, successfully ran Beale’s Carpet Services and also owned a club in New York. Known for his impeccable style and presence, Percell was a vibrant figure who never missed an event. His commitment to staying connected with family and friends, despite the distances, was a testament to his character. His love for his children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and especially his beloved Aunt Deloris, was evident to all who knew him. Percell was truly the cornerstone of his family; a unifier whose absence will be profoundly felt.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Bernice Beale; two of his beloved children, Valerie Cuffie-Bennett (Robert) and Russell Smith; grandsons, Shawn Askins, Trelon George; siblings, Roosevelt Beale Jr., and Louis Beale.

Percell leaves to cherish his memory his children: Barry Creekmore, Iris Harris (Charles), Percell Beale (Nicole), Marshala Addison (Troy), Tarsha Thorpe (Ralph), Jason Beale (Kim), Ras Blessings, Percell Lawton (Alice), and Lafaroll Lawton.
