Bev was born October 5, 1932 in a small town called Milton Freewater, Oregon, a place she always called “Gods’ Country”. On St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1957 in Fairfield, California she was united in marriage to Richard “Dick” W. Zagar. Bev was a true country girl who was passionate about reading, knitting, crocheting, cooking, gardening, horses, traveling, country music, and the Green Bay Packers. More than anything she loved spending time with her children and family, but mostly her two grandchildren, Brandon and Samantha Benko. They were her pride and joy and her greatest gift. In her last days she wanted them to know that she loves them very much, she and Papa are so proud of them, to stay strong, and keep their Faith.
