Beverly was a Registered Nurse at Select Specialty Hospital in Evansville Indiana.  In fact, she worked in several Health Care Agencies throughout the Tri State.  Her compassion and kindness reflected in her beautiful smile and pleasant caring behavior towards others.  Beverly loved to dance and sing.  She often sang hymns with her mother at Browns Chapel Church where she and her husband Kelley attended.  Beverly was a truly great person with people skills.  She never met a stranger, every person that she saw, in somehow and someway, she touched their life by her optimist way of thinking.  She dearly loved her family and had recently lost her mother in September.  Beverly had taken great care of her mother even though it was a distance between them.  Her grandchildren were the focal point of her life.  She dearly and deeply loved them all.  Most of all Beverly was a great Christian and she was ready to meet her maker.  She will be missed by her family.

Memorials may be made to Norton Children’s Hospital or Ronald McDonald House.
