Beverly J. Hidy

With deepest sympathy we send our love and prayers for your precious family. Beverly was such a kind and beautiful lady who on numerous occasions welcomed me, a once very shy and insecure college student, into her home and made me feel like family. I am so grateful for that time. Much love and blessings always to all of you.

Our sympathies, thoughts and prayers are with the Hidy family. Joe & Dee Wilson

We are sad to hear of your loss. Happy for Heaven's gain. Worked with Tina at K-LOVE/Air1...what an amazing daughter you raised, Beverly. Save a place for us! Sending hugs to the whole family. May your wonderful memories with Beverly give you comfort and smiles.

Back in 1980, when I was a new volunteer at The Institute of Texan Cultures, Bonnie Truax sent me on one of my first outreach visits to a school with experienced volunteer, Beverly Hidy. She told me, "You are going to like working with Beverly. She loves LIFE." I found those words to be true. She gave me a great introduction to the ITC Outreach Program as I observed her presenting the Indians in Texas program. Beverly helped everyone feel comfortable in her presence. She was so warm, caring, giving and FUNNY. What a perfect team she and Sally Wiskemann were in Volunteer Programs when Beverly became an ITC staff person. The volunteers and fellow staff loved her upbeat but down to earth personality. She showed interest in each person she encountered in special ways. And she was also pretty! I miss the sound of her voice and her great laugh, but I am so glad I had the chance to know her. RIP, Beverly.

Sending our love and keeping you all in our prayers.

A full life lived with grace and dignity. Rest in Peace.

Trey, Thoughts and prayers for you and your entire family. Losing a mother is so very difficult. May you find comfort and peace knowing that your Mom is resting in the loving arms of Jesus. We love you Trey.

This is hard to write because there is so much to share. I am Beverly & Barbara's younger sister by 4 years, almost to the day. I got married in San Antonio when I was 19, moved to California, and came back to San Antonio every 2 years to visit. Each time I came I felt like I had never left, even with the distance the three of us were close. Beverly & I shared a room from time to time because Patti & Barbara had more in common. I remember those times sweetly with Beverly being such a loving sister. Later in life when Beverly was looking for a wedding dress, my Dad said we'd better pick out one we both liked because I was going to use it also (turns out so did Barbara, and a friend of their's from college...after that I lost track). She was married on Oct 28,1960 and I was married on Oct 26,1961, even our first child was born 3-months apart. Many things in our lives have been the same. I am not there, much to my regret, because I too have health problems and the doctor would not let me fly. I told Barbara to hold a spot next to her because I am there in Spirit. My love to Butch, Jimmy, Trey, and Tina--I am praying for the "peace that passes all understanding" for all of you. Love Ginger

My thoughts and prayers for the entire Hidy family. Rest in Peace. Paige and Steve Bernstein

Thought's and Prayers to the Hidy Family. Beverly was always so pleasant to visit. She lived an amazing life as a Wife, Mother, and Grandmother. So many of us are simply better persons simply for just knowing her. Peace be with you Mom.

Beverly always had a smile on her face! Working with her at ITC she was always cheerful, happy, and a joy to be around. I loved hearing her news about Tina, Trey and Jim and all their adventures. She will be missed by her many friends. Rest in Peace dear lady.

Our deepest sympathies to Jim and the rest of Beverly's family. Jeff and Robbi Cross

To the Jim Hidy family, we send our sincere condolences. John & Paula Anthis, San Antonio, TX.

Beverly was a great friend when we first moved to San Antonio in 1970. Our husbands and sons became friends through the YMCA Indian Guide program. We began doing family things together and soon had two other families join us. It was the Hidy's, Fly's, Long's and Tatman's. What fun we had. We had the pleasure of visiting Mrs Barnes in Kerrville on weekends away from San Antonio and also a fun holiday weekend trip to Port Aransas. We both moved out of Colonies North and our children were then in different schools and activities but we always kept in touch at Christmas time. Was so shocked to learn of her passing. She'll be greatly missed by all. Pat and Wayne Tatman, Corpus Christi, TX

We met Beverly and Jim on a cruise in 1998. Since then the four of us have been on 16 cruises, including one in Feb., 2016. Three times with them to Niagra Falls, Canada. Once to Las Vegas and twice we traveled to San Antonio very quality visits. We have many wonderful memoies and lots of pictures. We thank God for having put them in our lives. Good Friends last forever.

Beverly is synonymous with family, friend and people person - a person who took care of people. She was innovative (though I think she might have been surprised at this description because I don't think she saw herself this way,) caring and always supportive. This is a lot to lose, but she will live on in our minds and hearts.

Beverly was a cherished member of the lunch group of the "Jeff Girls of l956". Even though she wasn't
strong & feeling up to her usual self, she still came. The November lunch will be remembered by all
because Beverly was there to share her friendship, smile, & to reassure us she was doing okey. She
certainly will be missed. In heaven she is breathing perfectly & will be our guardian angel.

Beverly Hidy was a wonderful, kind woman with a great sense of humor. I thoroughly enjoyed her plain honesty and good heart. I hope to see her again someday. Scott Sawtelle, friend, San Antonio, TX

Love and Prayers to Beverly's family. Beverly, Barbara, Jim and I have known each other for over 60 yrs
since we were at Jefferson High School together. Beverly was always smiling. Wonderful, kind woman.
I will miss her very much. Especially at our Jeff Girls Lunches every month.

It was always a delight to see Beverly at our Northside Lions social events. Her beautiful smile brought joy to all who were privileged to meet her. A very courageous lady, Beverly left this world a better place because of her love and her fight.

Ah, Beverly.... Loyal, creative, smart, and caring, she was the ray of sunshine and a never-ending source of common sense in the Institute's volunteer office. Beverly was one of my very favorite friends, and we enjoyed regaling each other with our children's escapades as they journeyed through their teens. How sad is my heart today.

Beverly was an even-keeled person who seemed to enjoy life's journey with all its ups and downs. She made it easy for those around her to do the same. She will be sorely missed.

I will miss my "Favorite Friend" of over 55 years. Beverly, Butch and I were roommates at Tech all those years ago and remained friends, altho' we never lived in the same city. She was an inspiration to me when I was diagnosed with breast cancer 8 years ago - I know of no other person who survived THREE diagnoses of cancer, and with such dignity and courage. Love you always. Bitsy Murchison

It was always a pleasure to see Beverly's smiling face. She was ever cheerful and sparkling. Nothing can dim that. She will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Beverly has been a blessing in our lives for the short few years we knew her. She and Jim have been like family to us. Memories we will never forget.

Our prayers are with you and we know with God's help he will guide you. We are sorry we will not be able to attend the funeral because of a planned trip. Love to all. Bud and Joann Dotter

Barbara, didn't know you were a twin. Know you will miss Beverly, praying for peace and strength for you and the rest of her family. Gerry Stovall Strech McCoomb

Sending our deepest sympathy and prayers. Beverly was an amazing friend to all she met. Thank goodness for all the wonderful memories.

Our deepest sympathy to all of you! We pray for all of you in the days ahead and hope that your memories can bring you some comfort.
