We are deeply saddened that Miss Bev has departed us but we also know she now serves a higher purpose in life. She was always so full of joy - like no one I've ever met. The children are so blessed to have been touched by her. We pray she will continue to touch them as they grow. God Bless Bev.

My prayers go out to the family and many friends of Ms. Bev.

I met Ms. Bev this year at Fishers -Point when my grandson started pre-school. She was always so kind and caring. I could tell she loved the children and they loved her. She will be greatly missed.

Bev will be dearly missed. Bobby and I always enjoyed working with her at Bible School and her enthusiasm for Christ and for life was unmatched. We will miss seeing her smiling face at church, but we know that she has been welcomed with open arm's into God's kingdom and that we will see her again.
With sadness, Bobby Duvall and Laura Voth

Bev was a wonderful friend to everyone she met. She lived across the street from my Father and was always there to watch over him and take care of whatever he might need. Dad always loved it when he was away and came home to find a special treat that Bev would cook and leave in his kitchen for him to eat. That is just a small example of how kind and thoughtful Bev was to everyone. There are very few people that I know that are as kind as Bev was to everyone. We will always be thankful that Bev was a part of our lives! Our deepest sympathies to Betty and the rest of Bev's family.

Beverly was a close colleague during 10 years working on Ohio Bar Exam matters. She was tireless, devoted & the best co-worker, with a sunny sense of humor & crystal-clear understanding of how the rules should be fairly enforced for the benefit of all.
I have fond memories of Bev (1)lugging boxes of exams energetically, while exhaling strongly enough straight up to blow her bangs around, always getting every job done well, and (2) talking at retirement about how she looked forward to working more with her church and the young people.
Beverly made a big difference in my world, as in many others, and I will always remember her. My sincere condolences to Bev's family.
May she rest in peace.
