Beverly McNaull Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gateway-Forest Lawn Funeral Home - Lake City on Jan. 3, 2026.
Beverly H. McNaull, 91, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on December 23, 2025. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Beverly carried Florida in her heart throughout her life. She loved the water, cherished nature, and held a deep respect for the environment that never faded.

Beverly devoted many years to raising her family in Livermore, California, where she lovingly raised four children before eventually returning home to Florida for retirement. Her creative spirit shone through her remarkable talent as a seamstress, a craft in which she truly excelled.

Never one to slow down, Beverly even dabbled in real estate during her "retirement" years in Cape Coral, Florida, before later settling in Lake City. Wherever she lived, her lively spirit, warmth, and independent nature left a lasting impression on all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, William D. McNaull, with whom she shared 39 years of marriage.

Beverly is survived by her sister, Deborah Hillgaertner (Bob); her brother, James Hilton (Betsy); her children: son David Frady, daughter Sharron Bryant (Mark), daughter Aimee Bireley (Roger), and son Bill McNaull III (Robyn). She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren: grandsons Jordan Bryant (Julianne), Hunter Bireley, and William McNaull IV; granddaughters Jessie Reilly (Kevin), Heidi Carr (Kyle), Macie Bireley, Georgia Berry (Austin), and Makenna McNaull. She is also survived by two great-grandsons, two great-granddaughters, and many loving cousins, nephews, nieces, and friends.

Beverly's adventurous soul, creativity, and joyful presence will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
