Bev and Len were Phoenix Suns season ticket holders for 50+ years. They enjoyed many hobbies together, particularly panning for gold with friends, escaping to the cool pines of Munds Park while admiring the clouds en route and cheering on the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team.
Bev was a second grade elementary school teacher for the majority of her teaching career (and also retired) in the Cartwright School District in Phoenix, AZ. She made many lifelong friends who enjoyed many hobbies and travelling together, several of whom she still celebrated monthly birthday lunches. Bev was a collector of many things including china, pill boxes from travel destinations, bells, glassware, bobbleheads and beanie babies. In her spare time she enjoyed crafting, shopping and decorating for every holiday. Bev greatly savored a McDonalds ice cream cone while running errands and on the way to Munds Park!
