live with his uncle (mother’s side) in Avon, NY. Beverly went to live with her mother’s brother

(Uncle Chuck, wife Aunt Kathrine and their daughter Charlene) in Colorado. Aunt Kathrine was

an English teacher and introduced Beverly to reading when she first arrived. Beverly loved

reading all her life. She started with Nancy Drew mysteries and later her favorite author was

John Grishom – she read every book he wrote.

Beverly met Bill Stanley at East Side Christian Church and married in 1951; they divorced in

1973. Bill later died in 1995. Their children together: Chuck, Gail (Vonnie), Karen and Sally. In

Schools. In 1970 she worked as a checker (cashier) at Safeway. In 1972 – Western Electric;

1973 - Albertsons (baker and cake decorator) and in 1974 she returned to Safeway where she

retired in 1995. Beverly was very talented and successful in decorating wedding/anniversary

Heritage Square as well as a cashier (a short period of time) at a gas station.

Windsor Gardens in 2012. Ted passed away in 2018; they were married for 43 wonderful years.

Ted’s death she moved to Eastern Star Assisted Living. Two years ago, she took a serious fall

breaking her sternum. After recovery, Beverly moved to Shalom Park skilled nursing at the end

of February, 2020. Beverly was an active participant in activities at Shalom, especially singing

and Bingo. She always had non-stop game shows on her television along with reading books so

fast it was hard to keep her supplied. Beverly always commented that Shalom took good care of

her. Previously, Beverly enjoyed many bridge games with her friends.

grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
