Beverly Kerns Obituary

Nov. 3, 1937 – Oct. 12, 2013 Beverly Ann Kerns was born in Warm Beach, WA to Nolan and Erma Leque. Bev graduated from Stanwood High School and attended WWU for 2 years. She was a devoted mother and homemaker for most of her life. She always found time to care for family and friends and she loved being a grandmother. Bev volunteered at the Stanwood Thrift store and food bank for more than 30 years. Bev leaves behind her loving husband, Donald Kerns. The two were married for 56 years. She also leaves behind her children, Suzette Johnson, Don and Shawn Kerns; grandchildren, Lyndsey and James Russell, Brysen Kerns, Jay Johnson and Shelby Kerns; as well as great granddaughter, Avy Joy Russell. A celebration of Bev's life will be held at a later date.
