Beverly was born in Sheridan, Wyoming on September 17, 1932, to Fred and Mollie Garland. She graduated from Sheridan High School and went on to graduate from Airline Communications Institute in Omaha, Nebraska.
She married Bill Campbell on October 10, 1953, in Oak Harbor Washington. They moved to Leiter with their two sons Michael and Gary. Soon after, they moved to Buffalo in 1959, the same year Linda was born. Beverly then went on to have her twins, Pat, and Kim in January 1963.
Beverly had a deep-rooted passion for her faith in church. Her involvement with the Immanuel Lutheran Church was a great source of joy and fulfillment. Her devotion did not wane when she moved to Buffalo, where she found a new spiritual home at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. Beverly's commitment to her faith was evident in her active participation in church activities.
She was also very involved in the management of the American Legion Club and all the cooking there. In the mid 1970's, Beverly took the catering contract at Texaco and continued working there until 2002. After Texaco, Beverly cooked for both the Polo Ranch and Cato Ranch until she was in her 70's. Her career and hobby were always cooking. She was the driving force behind "Campbell Catering" and on one occasion alone, fed approximately 730 people.
Beverly was in her glory feeding everyone. We have all heard "here, eat some more" and "what are we doing with all these leftovers". It has been said that if the Campbells were having an event that required food you cleared your schedule.
Beverly's love for Scrabble was legendary within her family. She delighted in the challenge of the game, and the lively, and fierce competition it sparked among her loved ones.
Beverly married Bob Crawford in February 1994 and they made their home in Buffalo and surrounding areas. In March 2023, Bob passed away and Beverly continued to live in the home they shared, enjoying time with all of her closest family.
