Beulah H.
Rittenhouse
Jun 8, 1929 — May 7, 2024
Beulah (Hendricks) Rittenhouse , 94, of Souderton, PA went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 7, 2024 at Souderton Mennonite Homes.
She was the loving wife of the late Henry Lapp Rittenhouse for 52 years. Beulah was born in Souderton, PA to the late Paul H. Hendricks and the late Katie (Nice) Hendricks.
As an early teenager, Beulah surrendered her life to Jesus Christ during a church meeting. This decision affected the rest of her life. She became a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a lifetime member of Rocky Ridge Mennonite Church where she served on the visitation ministry, the nursery ministry 'Cradle Roll', and where she volunteered much of her time. In later years she loved to volunteer at the Care & Share Thrift Shoppes in Souderton, PA.
Beulah loved spending time with her family, especially grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She enjoyed traveling, lawn and garden work, cooking, canning/freezing, housekeeping, and going to the beach - especially Ocean City, NJ. She was a hardworking, caring, compassionate woman who was sacrificial of her time and energies and was always considerate of others.
She is survived by her three sons, Dennis Rittenhouse & wife, Mary Yunginger of East Earl, PA; Dale Rittenhouse of Schwenksville, PA; Dean Rittenhouse & wife, Beth Meyers of Harleysville, PA; her daughter-in-law, Jane (Birky) Rittenhouse of Mt.
