Beverley Anne Carleton

Bev was my cousin on my Dad's side, Her mum was his sister. So have known Bev all of my life, she was 15 years older than me but once I grew up to her 'age' we became more than cousins, we were friends. We laughed, smoked, and drank together. Nothing like a good smoke and a scotch to bring out the stories and the laughter. We did have some good times. Through all the years we always kept in touch. She will be missed dearly by all that knew her and those who touched her life.

Dear Great Auntie Bev,

We were sorry to hear of your passing. But I was glad to find out through Auntie Kathleen (Fedorek), that you had received all of the photos and correspondence over the passed few years. And that you were able to see photos of your great great niece & nephews.

I am sure you are now in the loving hands of your sister (my Nana, Doreen) and those who have gone before you. Take care and we send our love.

Your Great Niece & her Family

Beverley and I worked together for many years....she was always a lady, a teacher, a friend. God Bless You

Dear Beverley:

How does one go about explaining a friendship that survived more than 70 years.

From Kindergarten thru High School grad., thru the good times of the 1960's (our 10 day road trip to Calgary to see the Stampede, overnights in Blane, weekends in Coeur D'Alene, Military Balls, and the Kelowma Regatta to name a few) and the bad times in the l970's and beyond,we kept it together. Not always close as work and family seemed to come first.

I enjoyed...

My Dearest Auntie Bev,

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear, I just keep wishing you were still here. I will hold all of the memories deep in my heart and through these memories will never part.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear, I just keep wishing this pain disappear. I didn't get the chance to say my last goodbye, I just didn't think you could ever.

I close my eyes as I wipe a tear, all of your love I will always hold near. In my heart and my mind, I will never...

Dear Bev, close and special friend for 60+ years. From high school, to starting our teaching careers together, sharing our first apartment, decades of glad and sad experiences, learning about aging and the "golden years," parts of which resemble rust more than gold! We kept in touch through all of it, and now that you are not present physically Bubbly Anne, I look forward so much to meeting together again in the presence of the Lord and celebrating our friendship. Love always, Lois...

Beverely ... It's funny how our paths criss-crossed over the years. As cousins, we casually kept in touch but then you and I found ourselves with mutual friends through my work and you and Michael, also, though his BCFP connections. He will never forget that incredible fishing adventure you organized for the group at the Quatum Inlet camp so long ago.
I am so thankful we were there when you asked for help. I am so glad you found Shannon Oaks where your life blossomed.
You were...

My Dear Aunty Bev - You left too soon! You were so incredibly excited that your niece and nephew were comming to spend Easter with you and take turns pushing you in a wheel chair around Stanley Park if your health allowed. I would have loved that memory instead of going to an empty apartment with only your presence and belongings there. I take comfort in knowing that Mom (Doreen), Nana and Grandpa and so many other family members, most recently Uncle Lloyd, were waiting to greet you on the...

My Dear Aunty, I cannot believe you are gone. What will I do with the time until we meet again. To all of us that knew and loved you, their will always be a place in our hearts. My memories will last forever, your smile and hearty laugh can be heard like you are still sitting across from me. I will miss the visits but cherish the time we spent.
Much Love
Larry
