Beverly was an extremely talented artist who could paint any portrait. She also excelled in wood burning, clay modeling, beading designs and anything artistic or crafty. Beverly was always working with her hands to make something beautiful. She was known not only for her beautiful artwork, but also her beautiful heart. Beverly treated everyone like they were family. So many people, from nieces and nephews, to friends of her boys considered her a second mother, because she was so welcoming to all. Beverly made an impact on so many people by just being herself. She will forever be missed by all who knew her.
