Beverly Curry Crocker

Beverly Curry Crocker, 94, died October 31, 2026 in Houston, Texas. Born June 26, 1932, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Beverly was the daughter of Bryce Bolton Curry and Opal Florence Suagee Curry, and a proud descendant of the Cherokee Nation. She graduated from Lamar High School and attended TCU and U of H.

Beverly devoted many years to serving others through volunteer work with the Houston ISD schools her children attended and with Meals on Wheels—quiet, steady commitments that reflected a life shaped by care, responsibility, and community-minded purpose. She was also a lifetime member of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, specifically the Washer Pitch Committee, where her long-standing involvement spoke to her loyalty and the value she placed on shared traditions and lasting friendships.

Beverly was married for 34 years to Charles William Crocker, and together they had three children: Charles Glen Crocker (wife Ellen), Craig Bolton Crocker, and Becky Ann Fuson. She was “Grammy” to Glen’s children: Justin Crocker (wife Adelina), Jeremy Crocker (wife Shelley), Jacob Crocker (wife Alexis), and Jenny Crocker. She was also Grammy to Craig’s children: Casey Crocker (wife Samantha), Michael Crocker (wife Alexandra), and Madison Prichard (husband David). She was Grammy to Becky’s children: John Fuson (wife Lara) and Taylor Fuson (wife Natalie).

Beverly was “Great Grammy” to Rianna, Lola, Raven, Kailey, Ryder, Aiden, Jackson, Holden, Emerson, Sloane, Wren, Acelin, Daniel, Nolan, Tanner, Franklin, and Rose, with one more great-grandchild due in February 2027.

Beverly was preceded in death by her son Craig in 2025 and her beloved “Sonny.”

Beverly’s favorite quotes offered comfort and perspective, and remain a fitting reflection of the enduring bonds she cherished: “Death ends a life, not a relationship” (“Tuesday with Morrie” by Mitch Albom); “The worst thing that happens to you can be the best thing for you, if you don't let it get the best of you.” (Will Rogers); “We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other with us.” (Tim McGraw); and “Don't cry because it's over - smile because it happened.”
