Beverly was a homemaker, wife and mother in her younger years, a teaching assistant with the Duluth Public School District, and a bartender for decades. Beverly loved bowling and played in leagues with her husband Tom, for decades while residing in Duluth. Bev, along with her husband Tom, was a devout Forty Niner fan. For decades they were season ticket holders and they enjoyed tailgating with friends and family at Candlestick Park . Bev also loved to play cribbage, cards, dice, domino's, and loved arts and crafts as evidenced by her many beautiful Christmas, knitting and ceramic keepsakes. Anyone who knew her, knew she was deeply devoted to her cocker spaniel dogs. In the later years of her life, she loved to garden flowers and fell in love with cats, both becoming her favorite ways to spend her time. Beverly was known as a woman who didn't follow the book, but rather wrote her own book. Also described as "fiesty", "a character", as she said what she wanted, no matter how it came out. But underneath it all, she was a sensitive woman, and will be missed by all that knew and loved her.
