Beverly Rowe Ayer, a devoted mother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away on September 13, 2025, in Dallas, Texas. She was born on November 26, 1953, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Beverly was fun-loving, headstrong, and deeply loyal. She managed to find friends wherever she went and was always just a phone call away for those she loved. When she was at her best, she brought fun and laughter to those around her and always lived life on her own terms.

A graduate of Lake Highlands High School in 1971, she went on to earn her bachelor's degree in political science from Texas Christian University. Beverly's love for music and collecting ran deep. She found joy in the little things, whether in a favorite song, a meaningful keepsake, or a garden she had planted with care.

She is survived by her son, Jonathan Martin Ayer; her daughter, Kelsey Leigh Ayer; her father, Herbert Graham Rowe III; her sisters, Cheryl Elizabeth Rowe and Melinda Rowe Ham and husband Marc Ham; her niece, Jacqueline Nicole Ham; and her great-niece, Oakley Grace Chambers. She was preceded in death by her mother, Winifred Rowe.

Beverly leaves behind a legacy of love, honesty, and loyalty. She will be remembered for her strong spirit and the deep bonds she formed with family and friends. Her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.

A public time of gathering and visitation will be from 12:00pm - 2:00pm on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at Reflections-Rest Haven Rockwall Location. A Celebration of Life will continue during the visitation.

A graveside service will take place the following day, Friday, September 26, 2025, at 10:00am, at Rest Haven Memorial Park.
