A cherished parishioner of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Cecilia, Beryl's unwavering faith guided her through every season of life. She embodied the spirit of kindness and compassion, inspiring those around her with her devoutness and love for God. She found happiness in the simple joys of life-gardening, cooking, dancing, and sewing, each of which she embraced with passion.

Beryl's heart overflowed with love for her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and she could often be found playing on the floor with them, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

Beryl was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend, who will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
