She was a member at Zion Lutheran Church, Decatur where she was involved with the Stephen Ministry.
Bev was employed at CTS in Berne, retiring after 35 years of service.
Bev enjoyed sports of most any kind, and her family…in that order. She was very sharp minded and quick witted…making others laugh made her day! Her keen sense of hearing was legendary among her children…nothing went unnoticed. She had the heart of a servant and showed that by involving herself with a widows club, silver sneakers, and Stephen Ministry, all allowing her to provide help to those encountering challenges in life. Her circle of friends, especially the Wednesday Breakfast Buddies provided her with social time and she greatly appreciated their help over the past several years.
