She then became a successful real estate agent at Tellico Village for many years before retiring. Beverly was affectionately known as "Bebe" to her grandchildren and close family. She loved spending time on her farm, decorating her home for the holidays, and preparing large, delicious meals for family gatherings. She played the ukulele, and the piano and loved singing in the choir in her church, Immanuel Baptist. She was known for her sparkly shoes, big earrings, bright lipstick and "pocketbooks".
