She was an avid gardener, finding peace in tending to her flowers and creating beautiful spaces. She enjoyed reading, painting, and spending time outdoors. She always had a stack of books that she could get lost in, and don’t bother coming to the house or calling between one and three because we all knew she was taking a nap. She enjoyed her afternoon nap. Beverly was incredibly creative, with a natural talent for art that she shared with family and friends. She had an eye for beauty.
A devoted member of Westwood Baptist Church for many years, Beverly’s faith was a cornerstone of her life. She was an active participant in her Sunday School class, where she found great joy and fellowship with her church family. She enjoyed serving in any way she could.
Her kindness, strength, and dedication to doing what was right inspired everyone who knew her. She was not a shy lady afraid to speak up, but often shared her thoughts and opinions passionately. She was admired and respected. Beverly’s spirit of generosity and her boldness in standing up for what she believed in left a lasting impact on those who were fortunate enough to call her wife, sister, mother, grandma, and friend.
Though she has left this world, Beverly’s legacy of love, faith, and courage will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
The family will celebrate her life at a private event at her home.
