Beverley Ann Kile

Beverly Ann Kile, 87, of Ash Grove, Missouri, passed away peacefully on August 20, 2025, surrounded by her family. Born on September 12, 1937, to Blanche Coons (later Swearengin) and George Coons, she spent her life rooted in faith, family, and community.

Beverly was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Her journey through life included several chapters, and from those early years came her three beloved children: Teresa, Terry, and Lisa. In 1984, she married the love of her life, Terry Kile, and together they shared 38 years of love and companionship until his passing in 2023. The two shared many joys-riding horses across the countryside, camping with the family, working side by side, playing with and loving their dogs, and cherishing quiet evenings together. But above all, Beverly and Terry loved to dance. Whether it was a lively tune or a slow two-step, dancing was their purest expression of joy and devotion.

At home, Beverly's hands were rarely still. A gifted seamstress, she poured her heart into every stuffed bunny, dress, and craft, creating pieces that carried both beauty and care. Her greatest masterpiece, however, was her family. She was proud of her children and grandchildren, cheering their milestones, championing their dreams, and offering quiet wisdom that shaped them all.

Known for her warmth, kindness, and steady presence, Beverly touched the lives of countless people in Ash Grove and beyond. Whether through her church, her years of service at the nursing home in Ash Grove, or simply the welcome of her kitchen table, she left behind a legacy of love, generosity, and faithfulness.

Beverly is survived by her three children, Teresa Hathaway, Terry (Karla) Tate, and Lisa (Larry) Wilson; her grandchildren, Angela (John) Young, Leslie (Dan) Hubert, Michael (Adrienne) Wilson, Dustin (Whitney) Lewis, Matthew (Stephanie) Wilson, Kylee (Casey) Jordan, and Kaelin Tate; her great-grandchildren, Abigail, Avery, James, Elizabeth, Adler, Drake, Charleigh, Henry, Kade, Charlotte, Kaia, and Owen; her sisters, Brenda LaRose and Linda DeFelice; and many more cousins, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Terry Kile; her parents, Blanche and Jack Swearengin, and George Coons; and her brothers, Don Coons, Neal Coons, and sister, Glendola Sheppard.

A celebration of Beverly's life will be held at her home church, Center Baptist Church in Ash Grove, on September 13, 2025 at 10:00 AM.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the nurses and staff of Seasons Hospice for their compassionate care, as well as to Beverly's many neighbors and friends who offered daily support and friendship. She deeply loved and appreciated each of them. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Center Baptist Church.

Beverly's life was defined by love and compassion, and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
