They adored and loved their Mom and Grandma very much. Bev was a devoted wife, mother and friend to all who knew her. She spent many years in nursing at St. Joe's in London, and after her retirement at age 60 Bev continued to live her life to the fullest.

She unfailingly made each one of her children feel important and she cherished all her friends. Everyone knew Bev as a selfless, caring, and devoted person, always willing to help others. She wanted her family and friends not to mourn her passing but to celebrate her life with music and friendship. Bev's spirit will remain with her circle of family and friends.
