Ida (Dale) Beverly, Age 92 of Bethlehem, passed away on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the Norton Hospital with her loving son by her side. Daughter of the late Ethel Mae (Hamilton) and Leonard Clayton Dale, Sr., Ida was born on May 12,1933 in Lockport, Kentucky. A devout Christian and member of Daybreak Baptist Church in Eminence, she was a very godly lady who eagerly enjoyed spreading the gospel to many. Since a young little girl, she learned to live off the land and use the bountiful resources of God’s creation. Ida grew up being outdoors and could hunt, fish, trap, and more. Never fearful of hard work, she spent her entire life working hard and providing for her family. A tenacious farmer, she endured many long and hard days but never wavered. Ida was a former member of the Henry County Homemakers Association and was appreciated by her family and friends for her cooking. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Russell H. “Butsie” Beverly; her son, Russell H. Beverly, Jr.; one sister, Clara Downey; and three brothers, Leonard C. Dale, jr., Clayton Dale, and Franklin William Dale.
