Martina W. Beale

Martina W. Beale, of 1873 Nansemond Pkwy, transitioned on Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025, at her family home, 403 Fulcher St., Suffolk, Va.

She was the daughter of the late Virginia R. Williams and Johnny James Lee Williams; besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Willie Beale Jr, two sons, Michael Beale and Angelo Beale, two brothers, Johnny James Lee Williams Jr. and Walton L. Williams, and two sisters, Margaret R. Williams and Teresa S. Williams.

Martina was a dedicated member of the Jehovah's organization since her early adulthood. She and her husband Willie moved to Baltimore, MD, in 1970. There she was, a stay-at-home wife and mother. Not only a mom to her own children, but also to children from the neighborhood. They always knew they had a safe haven, a hot meal, and a confidant. Even after relocating back to VA, those same qualities and characteristics traveled along with her. She was always affectionately referred to as "MA MA". Her vibrant spirit and devotion to her family always have and always will leave an imprint in the hearts of all that knew and loved her.

She was filled with so much love. She was "LOVE" and family was the very heart of her life.

She leaves to cherish her memory a brother, Steve G. Williams of Suffolk, a daughter Martina Faye Uzzle of Suffolk, seven sons: Willie Beale III, Greenville, NC, Jerome Beale, Antwan Beale (Mildred), Steve Beale (Gloria), Calvin Beale, Melvin Beale, and Christopher Beale all of Suffolk. A special niece, who she considered her bonus daughter, Marilyn Adams Wilson (Coselletto) of Suffolk. 16 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews, as well as other friends.

 A memorial service will be held at 12 Noon, Saturday, September 20, 2025, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 1351 White Marsh Road, Suffolk, VA. Professional services with dignity have been entrusted to Crocker Funeral Home, Inc.
