I cannot remember the time when Beverly was not in my life. We started school together at Cloud Elementary. Her Family, lived around the corner from mine. The eight of us, Wilbur, Myrtle, Beverly, Kenny, Bill, Mary, Dianetha and George, spent so many fun times together, especially BBQs. We all loved to eat! Never will forget the time we drove all the way to Lake Afton to swim and BBQ only to arrive and realize we left the grill grid to the BBQ at home so we packed up and drove back home to grill hamburgers in the back yard.
Beverly was my forever friend. No matter how many miles were between us or how much time went by between phone calls, it was always like we had just been together yesterday. I will miss her terribly. My love and sympathy to all her Family, Kenny and Christie especially..
Thank you for sharing your stories, Dianetha!
Beverly was an amazing aunt ♥️. So many memories of spending the night at her and Larry’s house when I was a child. They’d always have the best snacks and the newest Disney movies. There was a whole drawer Bev wanted to keep the VHS in its wrapper but she’d fold if I wanted to watch it. She always took me to get our nails done and donuts after! As a kid, her red Pontiac had “flying” powers and Beverly always joked about a specific button that was off limits because it would takeoff. Beverly was full of life and an amazing aunt to me. Love you Bev! Here are some more recent pictures.
I did not know her well, but once Christian and Christie got together, she was at all the gatherings. She was so nice and engaging. Just a sweet soul. Much love to the family. ❤️❤️
My condolences to the Dent family for their loss of Beverly. Beverly was a wonderful person and a good sister-in-law. She had a wonderful relationship with her niece, my daughter Christie.I cherish the fact that she cared so much and spent time with her doing fun things. In school Christie drew a picture of her and Beverly together on a typical Saturday morning together getting donuts and having their nails done, so adorable. I will miss Beverly.

Beverly, you are always close to our hearts. We miss you, and we will see you again one day.
