My Condolences Go Out To Ms. Beverly, Last Two Times I Seen Her She Was At A Mission Brunch, The Mission Sisters Was Discussing Our Next Mission She Was One Who First Raised Her Hand To Volunteer For An Pre-Planned Mission Project. The Last I Seen Her Was At The Breast Cancer Event Ms. Beverly Was Help Serving The Supportive Guest At Their Tables As A Server, We All Must Serve and Be On The Lords Missions; I Believe She Was Obedient and Caring May The Lord Give The Entire Family Strength and Healing In Their Grieving In Jesus Name I Pray Amen.

I have known Beverly since I was a young girl. We would go to baseball practices and games with our Mom
(Pat Alexander).. Mrs. Betts earlier comment made me smile because as kids we were always so excited to watch their team (The Chosen Few) play. Because When BJ or Ocleda were up to bat the game was about to get exciting!! As kids we thought She was such an amazing athlete and then to grow up and become her Hair Stylist and find out what an amazing woman and educator she was. She touch so many lives and I am blessed to have had her in my life she will be missed tremendously. My deepest condolences to her family. My prayers and thoughts are with you all

Beverly was a very special and kind lady. She and I played women's softball ball with the Amarillo React league in the 70's. She taught me how to correctly catch the softball in my glove. Rest in peace beautiful lady.

BJ and I worked together for years at Pantex and I served on the PX Christmas Card committee with her for years. She was the coordinator. I also played softball with her. She was one of the stars and I was one of the Bad News Bears. I just saw her two weeks ago at the Cancer Awareness function. She was one of the ones serving food. She was a really sweet and kind person. She will truly be missed. My condolences to her family.
