Mrs. Graves was a graduate of South Dearborn High School and graduated as an LPN from Ivy Tech, spending her entire working career in healthcare. Beverly was a lifelong member of the First Southern Baptist Church in Sunman. She enjoyed Elvis impersonators, camping, vacationing and spending time with her family. Much to the opposition of her family, Beverly was a KC Chiefs fan. Beverly’s wishes were to be cremated and a celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
