Beverly participated in her class of 1953 reunion plans up until 2019. Beverly held many jobs including the Paris of Montana, Rice Motors, and the election board of Cascade County. She also worked through the School District in the food service department as a fill in. All the while devoting a great deal of her time volunteering at the Columbus Hospital beginning in 1963 as a pink lady, pushing the coffee cart, putting on the hospital bazaars and in the later years at Benefis, working in the gift shop. She became a Mary Kay sales representative in 1991, and went to Dallas, TX for the Mary Kay conventions a time or two.

In their early years together, Beverly and Edward enjoyed camping, digging for sapphires and garnets, traveling to the world’s fair and to the winter carnival in Whitefish. In 1978, they built a family cabin in Lincoln, Montana and she enjoyed going there almost every weekend picking flowers, riding bicycles and motorcycles, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, feeding the squirrels, taking pictures, and just overall enjoying the great outdoors. She loved to travel and went as far west as Hawaii and east to Washington DC. Together, her and Ed hit almost every attraction, winery, and national park in between, and went to Canada a time or two. Also, she never once missed a stop in Jackpot, Nevada. She loved to play the nickel slots. One of her favorite places was Cannon Beach, Oregon, where she enjoyed the ocean and Haystack Rock. She and Ed did a bus tour to Branson, Missouri which was a huge highlight in her life.

They traveled to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s activities and birthday parties from Chicago to Bozeman to Helena and Lincoln. In the later years of her life, she really enjoyed reading, watching basketball, golf, and football. She was a dedicated Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks fan! She loved listening to music, especially pop, and anything that would get her up and move because she loved to move and to exercise. She was always proud to say she walked in 33 Ice Breakers races.

Beverly loved her Maltese-poo, Sammie, who preceded her in death back in 2017. But no one would ever know that she had four different dogs, and they were all named Sammie. She loved watching Ellen, The Good Doctor, David Muir with ABC News and CNN. She loved the news and was extremely passionate about her love for President Obama and her disgust of President Trump. She was a dedicated friend, cousin, mother, grandmother, and great-grandma. She was loved so much! Losing her is a huge loss to our family, especially our dad. She is now at peace and will be greatly missed.
