During the brief time that I knew Beverly, I knew that she was a very special person.... one who valued life and who valued her family and her faith. My sincere sympathy and condolences to her family, especially Nancy who I know treasured her sister. May Beverly's kind and genuine spirit of Christian joy continue to touch those she loved.

Beverly was such a sweet, kind classmate - I had the privilege of seeing her at a few class reunions I was able to attend, and she always spoke so fondly of her daughters and their families! I know each of you are hurting at the sudden loss, but just remember she is smiling in Jesus' arms now. We will see her soon!

The Class of 1970 of ACHS have lost another one of our members. Beverly was always one of my favorites. She attended all of our class reunions over the years. I did not see Beverly very often and it was special when I did.
I am especially thinking about her niece Ruth Blanks whom I used to work with. My thoughts are with the family at this time.

My heart just breaks hearing of the passing of Beverly. She was an absolute gem. I was so lucky to know she and your dad and all I can say is I’m so glad she’s with your Daddy and now you have 2 amazing angels. We were all blessed to have her in our lives. She was kind and caring and the best Grandma to all the kids. She will be remembered and missed. Sending big hugs and much love. We love you Wolfe family and hate that you’re all hurting.
