Although Beverly faced
the challenge of Multiple Sclerosis she fought with
courage and determination to make the most of every
moment. Throughout her life Beverly enjoyed
traveling, especially spending winters with Michael
in Florida where she found peace, sunshine and
happiness. She also enjoyed fishing, following the
Chicago Cubs, and frozen Cokes.
A woman of faith, Beverly found comfort and purpose
in her relationship with God throughout her life.
Memorial donations may be made in her honor to
Wounded Warriors and will be accepted at the funeral
home.
