She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Charles; sister Lila; brother Lyle; 2 sons-in-laws Tom and Corky; and granddaughter April.

I worked with Bev for many great years with her at Shopko. She had a heart of gold and unmatched work ethic! She was a joy to be around and I was always happy when she came back to work from retirement selfishly, not because she was an awesome employee but she was a pleasure to be around. I always enjoyed hearing her talk about her beloved dog(s) and some of the challenges in life she had overcome. She will be missed by many and my thoughts are with her family for their loss.
