Beverly Ann “Leinweber” McDonald, daughter of the late Joseph and Lillian “Christbaum” Leinweber, born November 23, 1953, in Ripon, Wisconsin, departed this life October 11, 2025, at her home in Hartville, Missouri, at the age of 71 years, 10 months, and 18 days.

Beverly lived most of her life in Wisconsin where she graduated from Princeton High School. She was united in marriage to Richard Dean McDonald. She worked as a registered nurse for several years. After her husband’s passing, she moved to Hartville, Missouri, where she has resided for the past several years.

In her spare time, she loved to read books, watch westerns, and enjoyed watching wildlife outside her in her front yard, especially the deer. She loved animals. She was a believer in God and loved to spend time studying God’s Word.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Lillian Leinweber, and her husband, Richard McDonald.

Beverly is survived by many friends and neighbors who will miss her dearly but will cherish the many memories made together.

"And so the little girl with her little dog went home to live peacefully together."
