Beverly Conway Obituary
Beverly (Merle) Conway passed away in her sleep early on December 26th 2020. Born June 21 1943 to John and Elaine Wick in Everett, she graduated from Everett High School - class of '61. She was married young, to Bill Adams and had twin boys, Brett and Paul. She married again in 1992 to Dan Conway, who passed in 2000.
In so many ways she lived her life to the very fullest. She could see the humor and the positive side of almost any situation, She loved to laugh and to make people laugh. She was artistic, creative, and a colorful story teller. She worked in Seattle and then in New York, and back to Seattle as an advertising executive, and then started a greeting card company called Mother Come Home. She lived on a houseboat on Lake Union for many years. She valued family, friendships, art, music and theater, her home was always full of life and love, she had a way of really listening and making you feel valued, and even when she was not feeling 100% she was always uplifting to be around. She is survived by her twin sons, Paul and Brett Adams and her granddaughter, Stephanie Wade.

She was so much fun and so talented. Went to school with her. Spent a afternoon on her house boat. So sorry she is no longer with us. So sad

So sad to find this out! I had intended to call her. My sympathies to you Paul and Brett. I thought Bev was so fun and creative! What a loss! I will let Susy know. She is going to be so sad that her long time friend is gone. They had so much fun together.

Bev and I were friends for close to 70 years. We met in grade school at Longfellow Elementary. We were constantly playing together, and would run back and forth across Broadway after school, often getting into trouble! We made camps together, played kick-off the hill, went house-to-house trying to find housework to earn money. We never did get the work as we knocked on door after door! And we became scientists in her root cellar soaking crepe paper in water and lining the empty shelves with our potions. I do not think I could count the many laughs we shared over our years of friendship!
I had just spoken with Bev right before Christmas. We made plans to get together and go through the stack of yearbooks I had unearthed in my work of reorganizing closets. The South Junior High (Everett) yearbooks span from 1954 to 1956. Bev was so excited to get together after the holidays, and laugh our way through these yearbooks and an autograph book. Throughout the years, Bev always mentioned her wonderful sons, their kindness, and helpfulness. Paul and Brett were the center of her life, always keeping her involved. This is my opportunity to share with the boys my appreciation for their selfless efforts to take care of my best friend. I, and so many others, will miss her deeply.
