So very sorry for your loss you guys. She is not at rest. Take care,
Love, Mitch and Sue Kittel
Ty & I send our condolences! Praying for peace and comfort to y’all. 🙏
Bev was a wonderful, delightful co-worker of mine at the New Richmond Day Care Center, 46 years ago. She was a devoted worker and her warm smile comforted kids who didn’t want their parents to leave! I had the privilege of working with her daily. She nurtured a lot of lives. I will always remember her with great fondness and love. It’s been a few years since I have seen her, but I’m sending my deepest sympathy to the whole family. I was so lucky to have known her.
So sorry for your loss. Hope all the wonderful memories you shared bring you comfort and peace. God Bless ❤️
Very sorry to hear. She is at rest with God.
Rest in peace, Bev. It was a blessing to have you as my cousin!
Sincere sympathy to all her family… she was a quiet, delightful woman and I’m proud to call her my cousin
So sorry here of your loss. She was fun enjoyed Euchre once she learned.the game.
Our sincere condolences to everyone that was a part of Beverly’s life. We didn’t know Beverly but from all the comments we have read she was a wonderful person and truly loved. She touched many lives and will be thought of often. May your many wonderful memories of her life give you comfort. Something we have personally found to be of great comfort are the thoughts expressed in the Bible at John 5:28 “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus Christ) voice and come out “. May God Jehovah comfort you as you move forward from this profoundly sad time in your life.
My condolences. I had her way back in the mid/early 90’s when she worked at west elementary in New Richmond. She was one of the kindest teachers I had.
