Our prayers and condolences go out to the entire Wendt family. Although it’s been a little while since we’d seen Beverly, we’ll always remember her as having a positive, lighthearted spirit and also silly, but in the best of ways. Revelation 21:4 Bob & Tammy O’Neal
My sweet Aunt, beautiful inside and out!! She and Uncle Fred were very supportive of me throughout the years and I will always carry fond memories in a special part of my heart!!! Her love for Christ and her family was inspirational and her infectious smile and giggle warmed the hearts of all those she encountered. Forever in our hearts❤ Kristy Marthaler
I had the privilege to help Bev stay active and in shape. She was such a joy to work with (even on days she didn’t feel like me being there)! We had the best talks and great laughs every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for over five years! I learned so much from her and loved hearing all of her stories about her past, her family and all her long time friends. I’m truly going to miss her. Always in my heart!❤️
Love and hugs to all of you from Dave & Brenda; Kristi, Scot, & Broxtyn; Ryan, Tyler, Birney & Miles; Blaine, Brittnee & Avery; Kelsey & Jeremy
Kendall, Cheryl and Susan, So sorry to hear your mom passed. I remember seeing her and Ken at Mom’s funeral 7 years ago. She actually roomed across the hall from my step-dad, Wilbur at the Regent. I tried knocking several times but never got an answer. Our families were so close in our younger days- a lot of fond memories. Our best to you all, Gary Skinner
What a lovely lady. I never saw her without that radiant smile. Thinking of all of you, Cherie, Kendall, Susan, and all the family. You were the sunshine of her life.
Have know Bev since East High, what a sweet fun gal. She is at peace now with Fred and her mom and dad…
Thoughts and Prayers for all of you! Blessings!! Much Love, Wendell and Dana
Beautiful service, sorry we couldn’t be there to support you all. Sending all our love and prayers. May she be dancing right now! Love you all, Sarah (Miller) Braet, Corey, Jamie, and Johny
Condolences from the Richards family. We are thinking of you. Mom wishes she could have gone to the funeral. Lots of great memories from the golf course and nights playing cards. Michael, Tim and Karen
Thanks so much. Please give your mom a special hug from us!
Thanks so much. Please give your mom a special hug from us!
To the Wendt families: I was saddened to hear of Beverly’s death. She was very dear to me. I remember stitch and bitch, playing golf, Playing Hand and Foot with Gary, Fred, Beverly and myself. Bev and I tried so hard to beat them, but seldom did. I remember our campling trips with our families and you young kids water skiing like champions. I will miss our monthly gatherings with Jean, Kasey, Bev and I in these recent years. We had some hot hand and foot games and no cheating was allowed! I was able to watch the Memorial Service and I am so glad that I did. It helped me to realize that my dear friend was really gone and how blessed I was to have been one of her friends. My good wishes to all of you. Love, Karen Richards
We met Beverly 5 years ago at Worship On Wednesdays at Regent Park. We enjoyed seeing Beverly‘s smile every Wednesday. Often times after the service we would gather our chairs around in a circle with five or six ladies and always enjoyed hearing the stories of their lives and families. Beverly was such a joy to be around. We rejoice that she is with her Lord now. But we miss her very much. You, her family, have our prayers for God‘s comfort to surround you.
