Beverly was born January 20, 1960 and was raised and educated in St. Vital. After graduating, she pursued a career with M.T.S. where she worked her way up to management until her illness. She loved her family and enjoyed traveling and winter vacations. She especially loved shopping and music. She was meticulous about her home, job and herself. She enjoyed camping and time at the beach. Dear Lord Put your arms around her hold her in your care, Make up for all she suffered and all she had to bear. She went through much in silence Her spirit did not bend, She faced her trials with courage until the very end. It broke our hearts to lose her but she did not go alone, For part of us went with her the day God called her home.
