Knierim, Beverly Eileen DeLaney, 70, of Triadelphia, WV, passed away on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 at Wheeling Hospital.
She was born on January 7, 1955, in Wheeling, WV, daughter of the late Exie Davis and Bertha Irene Craig DeLaney.
Beverly was a former Registered Nurse and a member of Roney's Point United Presbyterian Church.
She was known as "Mom" to all her kid's friends and her grandchildren called her "Memaw". She cared for everyone, was quick-witted, and fall was her favorite time of year because she loved watching the leaves change. She loved going to Lake Erie and watching and feeding birds. Her favorite bird was the hummingbird.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Edward Knierim; brother, Exie "Craig" DeLaney; and her dogs, Jellybean and Pyxis.
She is survived by her four children, Excea "Cea" (Jamie) Bender, Kyrie (Andy) Straight, Orion Knierim, and Xon Knierim; six grandchildren, Arlo & Teegan Bender, Baylee & Rowan Straight, Orion H. Knierim, and Raven Knierim; brother, James DeLaney; sister, Joyce Raab; several nieces & nephews; and her dog, Journey.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
