Beverly and Alfred fell in love and were married on November 24, 1949. They truly complemented one another. A passage chosen for Al & Bev’s wedding program was Genesis 2:18: The Lord said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

Together, they loved and raised their family.

Beverly was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She never tired of conversing with other. She demonstrated her love and compassion to all.
