Whittaker II, and JoAnn Bernier. Beverly was also a proud grandmother to more than 25 grandchildren. Beverly enjoyed painting and gardening, and she brought beauty and grace into everything she did.

Words cannot describe how much you mean to me. Though you lived far away when I was growing up there was always a connection we shared that couldn’t be broken. You were grandma and I loved you unconditionally. I’m so thankful I was able to spend more time with you these last couple of years. There are so many things I want to say and share but for now I’ll just say I love you and I know I’ll see you again.
Gramma Beverly, I miss you, I miss you, I can’t begin to describe the amount that I miss you. I hope you are at peace wherever you may be, whether it’s in the higher clouds, with the songs of the humming birds, or in the laughter you spread. You will always be in our hearts. Thank you for all the laughs, the joy, and the happiness you brought to us. We will always cherish the moments you told us a memorable story, or told a funny joke. I hope you had a long fulfilling life full of joy just as you brought it to others. I will always miss you. With love, your granddaughter.
Mom, how I miss you. So many things you enjoyed that was fun. Milky way bars and tiny knickknacks, books on a variety of subjects filled with bookmarks. I love you mom. So very happy that you are now embracing those up in heaven.
