Beverley was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was a courageous, intelligent, honest and compassionate woman, who sheltered her loved ones with all her heart and soul to protect, nurture, and guide them. Beverley graduated as an R.N. in 1974 from Red River College. She was a dedicated nurse at Misericordia Hospital and Assistant Director of Nursing at the Holiday Haven Nursing Home. After a number of years, Beverley chose to leave nursing to enter the business world where she worked alongside her husband Gordon, at Perfecfit Glove Manufacturers.

The entire family sends a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Ken VanAmeyde and Dr. Lynn Shelton for their many years of dedicated and compassionate care in assisting Beverley with her courageous battle against several illnesses. We thank the staff of CCU, MICU and GH4 at the Health Sciences Centre for their dedicated and kind care.
