She is also survived by her sisters Jean Legrow, Maureen McDougald, Karen Duncan and their significant others and children. She was pre deceased by her mother Adeline Duncan, father Harold Duncan and love of her life Sylvanus (Syl) Wilson.
Bev worked for over thirty years with the Saskatchewan Voice of People with Disabilities, and was a strong advocate for disabled persons. She was awarded the Commemorative Medal for the Centennial of Saskatchewan for all of her work. She also opened her home to adults with disabilities for numerous years.
Beverley was born in Maple Creek, and lived most of her adult life in Saskatoon SK and Regina SK. She and Syl recently retired and moved to Vancouver BC five years ago to be close to family and to enjoy the fabulous winters.
She was an avid sports fan as evidenced by the countless hours she spent watching the Toronto Blue Jays and Saskatchewan Rough Riders.
She was also a staunch NDP supporter, following in her mother's footsteps.
Every day, in some small way,
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are ever near,
Still missed, still loved, and ever dear.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Heart and Stroke.
A celebration of Beverley's life will be held at a later date in Saskatoon SK.

Beverly Duncan was a key figure in the disability community in Saskatchewan and played a vital role in the early years of the disability movement both in Saskatchewan and across Canada. Her years of dedicated service with Sask Voice and her unwavering commitment to advocacy for people with disabilities will always be remembered. Bev was instrumental in developing and implementing the Saskatchewan Assured Income for People with Disabilities (SAID) program and was a long-standing member of the Disability Income Support Coalition, among many other important advocacy committees. She tirelessly championed the rights of persons with disabilities, advocating for adequate housing and living income and made a lasting impact on disability legislation at both the federal and provincial levels.
Her contributions leave a legacy with SVOPD and the countless people she served. Bev´s lifelong work will continue to inspire change. We honour her memory as a person of compassion, deep respect, and integrity. To all who knew Bev, her family, and friends, we extend our deepest condolences.

Sending my condolence in memory of Bev. I remember all the trouble her and I used to get into on the farm, I know she has taken her place in a better place and I will miss her dearly, now I can say it was all Bev's ideas that got us into so much mischief in our earlier years on the farm may you read this wherever you are and get a chuckle. Rest in peace Bev.
