Beverly Ann Bard

1957 - 2022

Beverly Ann Bard, age 65, passed away peacefully on Thursday June 23rd in Carleton Place after a brief illness. Life partner, sister, mother, grandmother and friend, Beverly will be greatly missed. Beverly was born on February 16, 1957 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and grew up in Pine Falls. She moved to Lanark County in the early 1980s and worked at the Canadian Library Association until she retired in 2014. Beverly loved her home, her community and her family and spent as much time outdoors as possible. Strong and spirited, Beverly lived life with enthusiasm and was candid and loyal. Beverly is survived by her partner Jody, her sons Matthew and Jessie, her daughter-in-law Heather, her grandchildren Briar and Corbyn, her sisters Myrna, Bonnie and Karen and her brothers Gary, Douglas and Ronald. She is predeceased by Stephen Young, father of her sons, her sister Diane, her nephew Stevie, her mother Irene (née Nore) and her father Kenneth. Beverly enjoyed much in her lifetime and especially loved dragonflies and Earl Grey tea. We will remember our dear friend when we savour a moment with a cup of tea, the dance of a dragonfly or look up to the stars and contemplate divinity. Rest in peace Beverly. We hope to hold a Celebration of Life at a future date.
