Beverly Jean Beeler of Independence, MO, passed away on March 16th, 2025 at the age of 72. She was born in Kansas City, MO on May 2nd, 1952 to Earl Marion Steward and Ruth Lee (Pardonner) Steward.
Beverly graduated from East High School in Kansas City in 1970. She married William Eugene Beeler Sr. on June 29th, 1971. They shared 14 cherished years together. During their marriage, they welcomed their son, William Eugene Beeler Jr. in 1974.
After Bill Sr. passed away in 1985, Beverly and Bill Jr. shared an unbreakable bond, creating lifelong memories through their many trips together, from Disneyland to Dollywood. She loved spending time with the rest of her many siblings and extended family during holidays or “just because”. Everyone who knew her describes her as quiet, kind, and generous. We will hold the image of her kind eyes and beautiful smile in our memories.
Beverly was preceded in death by her parents, Earl & Ruth; husband William Beeler Sr.; sister Mary (Dale) Wills and sister-in-law Donita Steward.
