Growing up Bev was known for academic achievements as well as her beauty and athletic abilities. She was a cheerleader, gymnast, and a beauty queen. Her friends from school recall her always making people feel accepted no matter what- she was pretty and popular but never acted that way.She graduated with her associates from Gadsden State Community College and spent her professional career in sales and spent time as a legal assistant. Bev met her husband of almost 31 years, David, at a bar where he was teaching ballroom dancing after she moved to Huntsville. They wed the 8th of February 1992 and went on to have two daughters, Ashley & Kara. After settling in Southside, AL to be closer to her family, Bev took on a life as a stay-at-home mother and was very involved in her children’s school activities and sports. She even helped coach the city league cheerleading squad and became a substitute teacher in her local school system.
Bev loved spending time with her family. Especially summers at her father’s house at the end of the street. We all have many memories of her doing back flips off the diving board, making beautiful cakes, and throwing the best parties. Bev had a creative spirit and an artistic eye and had a way of blowing you away with the celebrations she would throw and the art she would create.
Beverlye will always be remembered for her infectious spirit and ability to make you laugh in every moment.
