Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 8, 2024.
Beverly Williams Baskin, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and sister passed away on July 7, 2024, at the age of 66. A native Nashvillian, she was born on June 13, 1958, to Winton and Addie Jo Williams.

Beverly was preceded in death by her parents, Winton and Addie Jo Williams, her son, Donnie Baskin, and her brother Winton Joseph "Bubba" Williams, Jr.. She is survived by her loving husband, Don Baskin, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and companionship. She leaves behind her children Danielle (Brian) Waldron, Ashley (Troy) Bunch, and Andrew Baskin, whom she adored deeply. Beverly took great pride in her grandchildren Emerson, Anna Claire, Abby, and Addison, and treasured every moment spent with them. She is also survived by her sisters Brenda (Jim), Tammy, and Cheryl (Xavier), and so many nieces, nephews, and cousins with whom she shared countless memories and unbreakable bonds.

Beverly dedicated over three decades of her career to Donelson Christian Academy, serving as the Director of Development. Her commitment to the DCA community was unwavering, and her impact on the lives of students, faculty, and families was profound. Beverly's work ethic, kindness, and genuine care for others left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Beverly was very active at Donelson First Baptist Church and was known for her deep love for people, her unwavering faith in the Lord, and the perpetual joy that radiated from her heart. She cherished time spent with family and friends, and her warm spirit created a welcoming presence wherever she went.

I first met Bev at Danielle and Brian's wedding in Charleston, SC. She was so beautiful and bubbly and so very kind. I hardly knew her at that time, but it was like I had known her for years. And every subsequent time we were together it was the same, only better and better. I miss her very much.

My favorite memory of Bev was my final year at DCA when I really needed help finding placements for several juniors who were having a hard time finding just the right job shadowing experience for Career Exploration. Without fail she came through with the perfect placement for each one, and did it on deadline even when it invariably meant she had to stay late to get all 'her' work done. And she did it all so graciously, with a certain warmth in her smile that was truly the trademark of Beverly Baskin. It is so hard to believe she is gone.

I am thankful for the privilege of knowing Bev. I met Bev at Danielle and Brian´s wedding and was taken by her beauty, her graciousness and her warmth. She was wonderful in so many ways. Although I didn´t see her often, I so enjoyed being with her and will miss her smile and laugh and the love she shared wherever she was. She is an example of Christ´s love for everyone.
