Learning of Bev's passing, saddend me and I am sure, many '58 Quincy graduates who agree that she was special as a friend. Bob and her family are blessed to have had her.
Remembering Bev will be often and sad.

I had the pleasure to know Bev from my years at Lahey Clinic which was over 13 years ago. There were many caring, attentive, and giving moments from this special lady. She did take good care of us nurses and was always so nice to chat with when we had time. I fondly remember her talking about her daughter who got a job down in Florida at Disney as one of the "characters" walking around. She always had a sparkle in her eye, especially when talking about family. Thanks for adding to some good years at Lahey, Bev. My sympathy to your family...

Bev was a class act. From 1989-1999 she was our nursing supervisor when I worked in the Recovery Room. Bev always had our back. She was professional, fair and even tempered. Her job was tough and she never let us down. Patients came first, but she always took care of her nurses.
I am sorry to hear this news, I clearly remember Bev talking so sweetly of her family. What a great lady, and awesome nurse.
