Bev began her career with Southwestern Bell in 1978 in Leavenworth.

Her job brought her to Topeka for a time and in 2013 she retired from AT&T in Mission.

Bev was member of Our Savior's Lutheran Church. She loved her family dearly and enjoyed gardening, being a dance mom, traveling and attending rock concerts. Bev was dearly loved, will be remembered always, and will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
