Beverly went to work when both of her children were of school age. She worked at Roosevelt Junior High and North Bend Junior High as a cook. This was in the days when school cooks baked whole turkeys and dressing with real mashed potatoes and homemade rolls.

She loved music, had a nice singing voice and played the organ and guitar. Her siblings also sang and played at least two instruments. Special interests included gardening, bingo, fishing, hunting, cooking and camping. She always believed there was enough food for “one more” and enough beds for “one more.” She supported her community by participating in the Parent-Teacher Association, the Girl Scouts, March of Dimes and Easter Seals.
