Beverly Guthrie Obituary

Guthrie , Beverly Ann (Bodder), 51, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ December 9, 2006 after a courageous 2 1/2 year battle with lung cancer. Bev is survived by her husband of 24 years, Bill; her son, Bill; her parents, Joel and Patricia Bodder; her brother, Joel Bodder and a host of nephews, nieces and friends. Jesus said "There are many rooms in my Fathers house, I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare the place I will come back. Then I will take you to be with me so that you may be where I am" (John 14: 2-3). We can all rejoice that Jesus has taken our dear Bev to be with him in Heaven. A memorial service celebrating Bev's life will be held Saturday December 16, 2006 at the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, Fort Lauderdale, FL at 10:00 am. Flowers are welcome and can be arranged through Petals and Scents Florist 954-566-2420.

Bevy was my niece by birth but we were more like sisters. My favorite memories are playing in the back yard with Bevy, hindering Pop-pop as he was working on his roses and teasing Joel. She was the best and had a beautiful sole. She will always be in my heart and mind and I know that she is now without pain and with those that also loved her and waited patiently for Bevy to join them. She was loved.

I met Bev about 14 yrs ago. At the time, my mother lived far away and Bev became a second Mom to me. Some of the advice I listened to and some that I should of but didn't. I'll always remember our Saturday mornings after "The boys" left. This is when I could open my heart and discuss anything that was happening in my life and along with a great cup of coffee, get my weekly advice. Who needed Dear Abby, when I had Dear Bev? You even where there for me when I finally found the one. Even though we never thought that would happen!
Bill and Bev where always so good to my daughter, Cheyenne. Bev was there for me thru out my entire pregnancy. Which I will always be grateful for.
Before I met my husband, I knew that I always had a seat at the Guthrie home.
Bev, no one will ever bake peanut butter balls like you, or keep a house cleanier than Martha Stewart. You where someone very special in my life and I will always be grateful that God sent you to me.

I love you so much and will see you soon,

Love, Serena
