Beverly's journey began in Kittanning, a town that would always hold a special place in her heart.
Beverly was born into the loving arms of her parents, the late Charles J. and Josephine C. (Rumbaugh) Easley in1933. Her life was one of warmth, love, and dedication, traits she inherited from her family. The bonds of matrimony united her with Paul Alan Arner on April 11, 1953, in Worthington, and together they built a life filled with joy, laughter, and adventure until his passing on June 5, 2016.
Beverly's legacy is carried on by her cherished family. She was the proud mother of five children: Jeffrey (Barbara) Arner of Idaho, Ronald (Susan) Arner of Erie, PA, Nancy (Wayne) Young of Fombell, Edward (Deborah) Arner of Pittsburgh, and Mark (Mezel) Arner of Center Township. Her grandchildren, Robin, Danielle, Jesse, Cheryl, Melyssa, Sarah, and Samuel, brought her immeasurable happiness, as did her great-grandchildren, Brandon and Nicole. She is also survived by her sister, Linda (George) Kerr, and her nephew Bill and niece Becky.
Beverly's formative years were spent on her grandparents' campground, Buffalo Valley 'Yellow Dog' Park and attended school in Worthington for the first eight grades before graduating from Kittanning High School. Her work life was as varied as it was fulfilling, starting with her role for an attorney, Peter Calarie, in Kittanning. Following her marriage, Beverly moved to Beaver Valley, where she worked as a secretary at the Beaver Valley Mall and later as an executive secretary with HAP Enterprises.
She was an active member of the North Branch Presbyterian Church, serving as a deacon and participating in the church bowling league. Her community involvement extended to her membership in the Aliquippa BPOE Auxiliary and a 500 Bid card club. Beverly's kind and generous spirit was evident not only in her religious and community service but also in her personal interests.
Beverly and Paul shared a love for travel that saw them visiting all 50 states, camping in numerous national parks, and enjoying several cruises. Friday nights were a cherished tradition, as the couple would meet with friends for dinner and card games. Beverly also found joy in creating beautiful ceramics, a testament to her artistic spirit.
