Beverly was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend who cherished her family; as they were her life. She was a lighthearted and fun loving free spirit. Her laughter was contagious to all and she was the life of a party.

In addition to her parents, her loving husband of 38 years, Edison Wells of South Glens Falls and her sister, Beryl Hungerford, of South Glens Falls, predeceased her.

Her great-grandchildren also survive her: Amelya Powhida, of South Glens Falls, Collin, Shane, Devin and Melinda Brayton, all of DeLand, FL; along with her cousin and several nieces and nephews.

Family and friends may call from 5:00–7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 16, 2022 at the Regan Denny Stafford Funeral Home, 53 Quaker Road, Queensbury.
