Beverly Jean Larson

Beverly Larson, a fiercely independent spirit and beloved mother, passed away peacefully on April 30, 2025, at the age of 89. Born on December 20th in 1935 in Orlando, Florida, Beverly entered the world with a spark that never dimmed.

A proud stenographer by trade, Beverly built her career in a profession that demanded precision, grace under pressure, and a remarkable command of shorthand—a nearly lost art in today's world of instant digital communication. With quick hands and a keen ear, she captured court proceedings, business meetings, and dictations long before voice recorders and transcription software took the stage. She took great pride in her work and saw it as both a craft and a contribution to the world around her.

Beverly was a woman who lived life entirely on her own terms. She made decisions based on what was right for her, with confidence and clarity, never looking back. Her independence was not loud or boastful—it was steady, thoughtful, and deeply inspiring to those who knew her.

She loved music, especially the timeless voice of Frank Sinatra. To honor Beverly’s memory, her family invites you to play "My Way" and sing along—loudly, joyfully, and maybe a little off-key—just the way she would have wanted.

Though Beverly never sought the spotlight, her quiet strength, dry wit, and heartfelt authenticity left an indelible mark on everyone she met. Her story is one of grace, courage, and a steadfast commitment to living authentically.

She is remembered with love and admiration by those fortunate enough to have shared in her life. Her memory will live on in the many lives she touched, and in every song, smile, and strong-willed choice made in her honor.

In light and love.
