Bev was preceded in death by her parents Naman and Pauline Banning. Bev would like to thank all the wonderful people she made friends with at the Hickory Point Mall, to those of you who invited us to eat out with you, attend birthday parties, anni-versaries, the employees of the stores who helped her, those who leaned in close to listen when she had trouble talking, thank you. The family would especially like to thank Naomi, Maxine, Larry and Loretta, Susan and Carol, Larry and Shelby, Judy and John, Barb and Reno, Bud and Norma Jean and anyone else who helped make her days a little better. We would like to give special remembrance to Mary Kaye Gould who died a week before Bev. Thank you to McKinley Court for the care given to her.
