Beverly even learned refurnishing and reupholstering skills in technology department classes.

Beverly had many hobbies. She loved ceramics, gardening, reading mysteries, doing puzzles, sewing, and loved to travel.

Beverly's greatest gift was the love she shared with her family and she always put other people's needs before her own.
