I seem to be having a difficult time dealing with Bev's sudden passing. My heart goes out to your poor family having to deal with such unimaginable loss. - Posted by: Lucille Burton (nee McCullagh) (Very good friend during our "growing up") on: Jan 07, 2023

I was honoured to meet Bev when she filled out my forms with me to be a parent volunteer in the early 1990’s at my children’s school. Her smile and kindness put a parent at ease right away and she made you feel genuinely needed. After she had retired I too became one of the Volunteer Coordinators and now retired. I tried to model her professionalism , kindness, encouragement and graciousness in all aspects of the position. Bev you forever made an impression and impact on my life. May her family cherish all those special memories with her. May she rest peacefully. - Posted by: Karen Naumiuk (friend, volunteer ) on: Dec 11, 2022

I had the great pleasure of working closely with Bev during our many years with the Winnipeg School Division. Bev was the ultimate professional and so positive in her approach with all the volunteers she recruited and supported. Quick with a smile and a twinkle in her eye when she shared stories about her girls and grandchildren. I am thankful we crossed paths in our professional lives. Thank you Bev for all you did to make this world a better place for so so many people. - Posted by: Carolyn Graham (Colleague) on: Nov 09, 2022
