Some people touch you in ways that never leave you. Bev’s positive outlook has helped me, even as recently as this last week. When I feel down, I remember her words of encouragement and how you take control of how you start your day. Miss you Bev.

Bev was one of the kindest souls I have ever met. I loved walking by her office and seeing it completely decorated with her beloved Oregon Ducks. I will miss our conversations about Washington State, and the updates on her family. She will be missed. 

Oh how sad it is to hear about Bev's passing. Such a wonderful, beautiful lady. She was sincere, transparent, full of joy and her laugh was so contagious. As much as I loved being her coworker while at McKesson, I always tried to keep up with what she was doing after she retired. She deserved the freedom and joy from doing everything she wanted to do. Her love of family and friends was so strong and talking with her about those she cared about...her face would light up. There was no one like her. I will keep those memories forever. Thank you, Bev, for your guidance and excellence. 

Beverly STRYKER was a wonderful person to work with and could always brighten your day if it wasn’t going as planned. She always had a smile and treated everyone with respect.

When working with her I learned a lot that became invaluable later on in my career.

Such sad news to hear of Bev's passing! She had a beautiful spirit and I smile when thinking of our work together. She would often remind me to "make lemonade when life hands you lemons." I always remeber that when things get tough. Thanks "B"!

What an incredibly beautiful soul. Bev was my friend, mentor, teacher, friend, co-worker, inspiration,  and lifeline. She was always there to give a hand up from the dark depths of despair, or ready to celebrate my joys and triumphs. I remember (truthfully) telling her once that I didn’t care if the subject was watching paint dry; if she was teaching the training, sign me up.  Many fond memories sitting with she and Deb at Azteca over a glass of Chardonnay; after a rough week, solving the secrets of the universe.  I’m blessed to have had such a cherished friend.  Sincerest condolences to her family and all that loved this wonderful lady.

Bev was such an amazing joy-filled individual. I loved her passion for life. She was the true definition of a leader. Someone that strives to lift up and support her team through every action she did. She was a leader that I looked to emulate and was always encouraged by her as I worked toward that goal. She will be deeply missed. 

Bev Stryker was by far the BEST supervisor/manager I ever had in my working career. I knew when I went to work for Mckesson I wanted to work with her in the training department. I was one of the first people to join the RTA training program. Bev always believed in me and everyone she managed and even people she didn’t work directly with, she was always so encouraging! I’ll always remember her meeting with me after she retired from McKesson so we could have even better conversations, catch up and have a drink together since we weren’t working ☺️ She also sent a baby shower gift for my first child since she couldn’t make it to the shower she sent a gift. She was always so supportive, encouraging, her stories from her life and work career were always the best. Her laugh, her smile very contagious and her hugs would make you forget what your initial problem was. Thank you ever so much Bev for being a bright spot in my life and encouraging me to keep going for my degree and being there to listen when I needed someone to talk to. To say you’ll be greatly missed is such an understatement. Love to your family and other friends.

Beverly Stryker will forever be one of the most important turning points in my life. She always see the best in us but was honest about the not so good in us (big smile)! She cherished her life, family and everyone she came into contact with. So many great memories but one that always makes me think of her even as the years have passed. Bev had been having back pain and just not feeling her 100% self (never showed it at work) and one day she came in and told her training department family that she has a song she starts every day with and played it for us. Every time after that talk if I’m feeling under par I played that song. We even made a video of it for her retirement from McKesson. That song was Happy  !  Love you Beverly 

I’ll never forget the very first time I met Bev. Her contagious laugh and HUGE personality lit up the conference room like the sun in July! 
Over the years (prior to her retirement at McKesson) I was often captivated by her intense passion, dedication and drive when it came to building up/supporting others. Bev was bigger than life and my She-ro... she knew what her purpose in life was and she owned it with every fiber of her being. She cared greatly and loved even more! 
What I miss most is her beautiful, God sized laughter and the BEST giant hugs, EVER! 
I Love you Bev and thank you for being you! 
Rest In Peace sweet friend. 


Bev was an amazing person, boss, mentor and friend. I had the pleasure to work under her at McKesson. Her vision and drive changed the organization's reputation and quality program. She always spoke highly of others and tried to see the best in everyone. Her family meant the world to her and she was soo proud of all of them. The world has lost one of the greats. She will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. 

Bev was an amazing leader, friend, and mentor who really believed in the best part of people. When I started working at McKesson, I could always depend on Bev to have my back and support me even during really tough times. After she retired I thoroughly enjoyed our times we were able to meet up for breakfast or lunch. To Bev's family, Bev was very proud of you! Her family was the light of her life!

I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you find comfort in the great memories.

I will miss her.

Sad to hear of Bev’s passing.  As A co-worker she was knowledgeable, forthright and trustworthy. As a friend we had shared passions for college sports (Oregon Ducks for Bev, Arizona Wildcats for me) and our families.  Glad to have known her. Condolences to her family and friends.

Bev was a great boss and friend, I loved her dearly.  She was always so upbeat and had a great sense of humor - she made me laugh often.  To all in her family - she spoke of you often and loved you all so much. I am deeply sorry for your loss.  She was a great light in this world and I will miss her.

Bev was a wonderful friend, and will truly be missed. She was kind and honest, and working with her was a joy. I am blessed to have known her.

Bev not only was/is a wonderful leader but is also a great mentor/friend. She always took the time to meet and continued to provide words of encouragement to grow me as a whole. Bev you are a beautiful soul that will be missed dearly but you will always hold a special place in my heart. 

A dear friend was taken too soon.  I loved working with Bev at McKesson but more  importantly our connection when we retired.  Getting lunch or coffee at Starbucks could easily become an all day affair that seamed to last only minutes.  

Noel, Stacie, and Bradley know that Beverly will always be with us and she holds a very special place in my heart. 

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Bev was a beautiful soul and a trusted mentor. She will be greatly missed.
