Beverly was a beautiful person inside and out. I can still see her heartshaped face and dimples when she smiled at me.

I met her many years ago when I became a child sitter for the three Jenks children (Bev, Al and Dottie).
We kept in touch over the years.

Bev was both right and left brained. She managed the family business and was the treasurer of the West Acton Baptist Church.

Her artistic side was the quilting and clothing that she designed. She visited me in Florida and sewed a whole wardrobe for school. Her greatest accomplishment was the beautiful wedding gown (when she married Charlie Kimball).

Bev adored her children Pam, grandaughter Yona and Wayne. They all spent many happy hours together.

She was very active in the Acton Historical Society and kept the Jenks legacy alive.

Bev was a good Christian and believed in heaven and the afterlife.
She's with those who went before her having a good time.

I feel privleged to have been in her presence and will miss her.
