Beverly Plunkett Obituary

Beverly Diane Palmer Plunkett, 70, of Elko, Nevada, passed away on October 18, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on January 5, 1955, in Santa Rosa, California, to John and Ramona Palmer, Beverly lived a life centered around family, friendship, and unwavering support for those she loved. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend whose presence brought warmth and kindness to everyone she met.

Beverly is survived by her loving husband, Timothy Plunkett; her daughters, Rebecca Plunkett and Lisa Nielson (Pete); and her cherished grandchildren, Robby Glennon, Hunter Glennon, Kaleb Nielson, and Caitlyn Nielson. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Karen Clark (Lynn), as well as many loving nieces and nephews.

An avid golfer and bowler, Beverly found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She found great fulfillment in encouraging and supporting young bowlers through the youth bowling association. Her greatest passion was supporting her grandchildren, cheering them on from the sidelines at countless sporting events, always their biggest fan.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Ramona Palmer; her sister, Ruth; and her brother, Timothy.

Beverly's legacy of love, strength, and unwavering dedication to family will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at Ruby View Golf Course in Elko, Nevada.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Elko Junior Golf Program in Beverly's memory. For more information, please contact Ruby View Golf Course at 775-777-7277 and mail checks to 2100 Ruby View Drive, Elko, NV 89801.

I have known Beverly since high school. I was a couple years older and we never ran around but we knew we just knew each other and always stopped to visit when we ran into each other. She is one of the kindest people I have known. I am so sorry for your loss and I will miss running into her. May you rest in peace friend and may God wrap His arms around the family...

My heart goes out for Beverly's family. Her fight for life was like everything else she fought for, tenacious. I'm fortunate enough to have known her and Tim for many years. Our common love for bowling brought us all together. Her absence will be missed, her memory will never be missed.
