Beverly Anne Bedsole

Beverly Anne Bedsole, 57, of Mansfield, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2025, surrounded by the loved ones who meant the world to her—and who joyfully celebrated the remarkable life she lived.

Born July 15, 1968, in Mansfield, Beverly was the kind of person whose presence lit up every room. She was magnetic—warm, fiercely compassionate, and always ready with a wickedly funny remark that left everyone laughing. Beverly didn’t do anything halfway; she loved with her whole heart, lived with intense joy, and gave freely of herself to anyone lucky enough to know her.

Beverly had an adventurous spirit and an insatiable curiosity about the world. She loved to travel, immerse herself in different cultures, and share those experiences through food and stories. A phenomenal cook and gracious host, she had a rare talent for bringing people together and helping them see what they had in common. She curated an impressive wine collection and forged countless friendships sharing a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Her generosity was boundless. Beverly gave from the heart—whether she was opening her home, sharing her time, or selecting the perfect gift that showed how deeply she knew and understood you. She had an extraordinary way of making people feel seen, valued, and truly loved.

A devoted dog lover, Beverly’s home was joyfully chaotic thanks to her four French Bulldogs and one enormous mixed-breed sidekick. Her “wild pack” added to the warmth and liveliness of her legendary gatherings.

Beverly is survived by her beloved siblings: Travis Bedsole and his wife, LaNese; Sandra Bedsole; and Billie Bedsole and her husband, Mark. She was a proud and loving aunt to Billy, Winter, Jennifer, Stephen, Anna and Ryan and she adored her great-nieces and nephews—Riley, Amber, Colton, Emily, Sophia, Addison, and Madisyn—showering them with love and laughter at every opportunity. Beverly also leaves behind a wide circle of devoted friends who became her chosen family.

She was preceded in death by her cherished parents, Billy Ray and Marie Bedsole.

A Rosary will be recited at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 12, 2025 at Rose-Neath Funeral Home in Mansfield, with visitation to follow from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

A Celebration of Beverly’s Life, led by Deacon Bill Kleinpeter, will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 at Southside Baptist Church in Mansfield. Graveside services will follow at Highland Cemetery, with a reception afterward at Billy B’s Cajun Grill to continue sharing memories, stories, and the joy Beverly brought into the world.

Serving as honorary pallbearers are Timmy Airhart, Harvey Bedsole, Karl Bedsole, Larry Bedsole, Mike Cooke, Donnie Dufour, Judson Reeves, Shane Stagg, and Rhonny Valentine.
