Born on August 11, 1940, in Whitfield, Indiana, Beverly devoted her life to serving her family and others and embodying the spirit of kindness, compassion, and generosity.

A cherished member of St. Jude Catholic Church, Beverly's faith was the cornerstone of her life. She found great joy in her dedicated service as a eucharistic minister to shut-ins and was actively involved in Bible School, sharing her love for God with everyone she encountered. Her gentle, soft-spoken demeanor made her a light in the lives of many, reflecting the values she held dear. For Beverly, the church was not just a place of worship; it was a sanctuary where she connected deeply with her community and extended her compassion to those in need. She adored spending time with her grandchildren.

Outside of her spiritual commitments, Beverly had a deep passion for working in her flower gardens and watching the birds at her bird feeders. Her love for nature was apparent and provided tranquility and beauty to her life and the lives of those around her. Those who visited her home were often greeted by the sights and scents of her lovingly tended blooms, a true testament to her nurturing character. Beverly was very passionate for the unborn and loved volunteering at the ministries 'Right To Life' and 'Healing Hidden Hurts.'
