Beverly Saunders Obituary

Beverly Jones Saunders passed away Sunday, July 25, 2010, in Fort Worth after a 16-year battle with cancer. Memorial service: 1 p.m. Friday at Arlington Heights United Methodist Church in Fort Worth. Memorials: In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations be made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Beverly was born Jan. 15, 1951, in Jacksonville, Fla. To the very end, she looked cancer square in the eye and never gave in to it. She was truly an inspiration to all who knew her. She was employed at Higginbotham and Associates. She graduated from Wolfson Senior High, class of 1969, and attended Florida State University, always an avid Seminole fan. She was preceded in death by her son, Sean Whiteley. Survivors: Daughters, Lexie Whiteley, Andrea Saunders and Audrey Saunders; and sister, Carol Jones Rann.

I was very sad to read of Beverly's death. She and I were friends from junior high through high school, and I'll always remember her as fun, funny, smart, and kind. We lost touch after that; but, last year, when our class was putting together a 40th reunion, we managed to reconnect through e-mails and wrote back-and-forth a few times (a correspondance I'd assumed would continue.) It was fun sharing stories, and I loved hearing about her adventures, her travels, and obvious zest for life. It was apparent that she had been succesful in her career, and was justifiably proud of it - as she was of her daughters and their accomplishments. I enjoyed those letters and felt genuinely happy for her. An interesting thing, to me, is that she never once mentioned anything about cancer. My thoughts go out to the family. May your memories help to sustain you through this time.

Beverly and I met over 30 years ago at Charter Insurance in Jacksonville. We have always kept in touch and hung out at the Landing in Jacksonville just a little over a year ago. Beverly was one of the smartest, strongest, funniest women I have ever known. She lived life to the fullest traveling and experiencing so many things during her lifetime. Her greatest accomplishment was her children.

Lexie, Andy, Audrey and Carol: If I can ever do anything for you just let me know.

Take Care and May God Continue to Bless You,

One of my earliest memories at Wolfson High was the roaring acclaimation : "Seniors Fine in '69!"
Beverly was among this proud class, and indeed one of the finest.
Happy, pretty, congenial girl.
She's going to make one beautiful , glowing angel !
God's creation; back into His possession.
RIP.

I knew Beverly through a mutual friend and that in itself was a blessing. I had never been around some with the enthusiasm she possessed. She was truly a walking mirical. I heard it say once. She looked death in the face and did not back down. Once a small group of just us girls went on a day trip to small historical town in LA. I laughed the whole day. Beverly... you left this world and now you are enternaining the heavenlies. May God richely bless your children as they learn to live a life without their mother. Yvette Lack
