Beverly was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. She was a member of First Assembly of God church for over 60 years. She was very much involved with the church over the years in, Women's Leadership, children's church, Sunday school, teaching, youth leader, visitation ministry, outreach ministry and many other aspects of the church. She loved to read the Bible and listened to gospel music almost every day. She will be remembered for her boldness in proclaiming her faith in Jesus Christ. She witnessed to whomever she came in contact with especially her family, or people in the grocery store, elevators, hair salon, neighbors or strangers in the street. Her love for Jesus was her life and she was not afraid to share it.
She not only shared her faith, she lived it.. sometimes having strangers in her home, giving "monetary gifts" she could not afford to people she did not know, or housing and feeding a teenager who was a runaway, living in an abandoned car.
Her laugh was contagious and she loved Christmas. She decorated her house in and out and had a beautiful tree. For 10 years, she hosted a Christmas party at her house, sometimes having over 60 people. She made sure everyone left with a gift and the real "Meaning of Christmas." She also loved traveling when she could, especially seeing snow. She enjoyed all sports particularly when her children or grandchildren played.
She leaves behind a beautiful legacy and is now reunited with her family who have passed before her. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her and loved her. She now rests in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
