Born August 21, 1943, in Salem, Ohio, Beverly was a 1961 graduate of Salem Senior High School, and a graduate of trade school studying bookkeeping. Beverly enjoyed working very much as a bookkeeper for the Hospital Auxiliary.

Her pride and joy were her two children, Shawn and Heather. Beverly was a dedicated and avid fan of her children's activities, which included her children swimming competitively while growing up.

Beverly especially loved making sure her home was pristine inside and out.  In the summer you would always see her tending to her masterpiece flowers and planters all around the home.  She also enjoyed the Salem Country Club, spending time with her many friends, and anything that had to do with being around water or the sun.

Beverly was a member of the Salem Presbyterian Church when she resided in Salem, Ohio and worked as a cashier at Sparkle Market for years.  She often referred to herself as a "Sparklette."

Beverly had not ever met a stranger her entire life. Her radiant smile would light up a room and her laughter was simply contagious. She leaves behind many treasured friends she loved whom she talked about fondly until she passed.

Beverly was an outstanding mother, sister, aunt, and friend to all who knew her.  She holds a special place in the hearts of many and she will forever be missed.
