Beverly loved Jesus. She walked closely with the Lord and had a life dedicated to service and faith.

Beverly obtained religious credentials and formed Love Fellowship Ministry. With this ministry she posted prophetic messages on her website, hosted bible studies and prayer groups. She had fond memories of a mission trip to Guatemala.

She had a deep love for her family and spending time with them brought great joy! Earlier years she enjoyed spending time at their home on Duck Lake, later camping on their UP property in Trout Lake, after her husband passed, continued family time by renting cabins over Labor Day weekend so everyone could be together. She made wonderful bakery items, gave the best hugs and always looked beautiful.
