In her younger years, Beverly played softball and earned a few broken ankles before she gave it up.  She enjoyed bowling and was very good at it, traveled all over enjoying herself. She loved the Kansas State Fair, and was known to go several times, with her students, looking at campers with her husband, and watching the grandchildren ride the rides, walking through the building with family and of course the food! She was a wonderful cook and an amazing artist, she had a special love for roses & horses.

Some of her favorite past times would be spent camping & fishing, either at local lakes or traveling to Texoma Lake.

But her pride and joy was traveling far and wide to spend time watching her grandchildren chase their many different dreams, she was proud of each and everyone of them, she always had their back.   Family was everything to her!
