On October 27, 1950, while in College Beverly married her College Sweetheart and the love of her life, Luke Sugg.

After College Beverly worked for a short time as an elementary art teacher. However, she retired from her teaching career to devote all her time to raising her children, Charles and Mona. For Beverly, her family was everything!

Beverly was a lifelong Episcopalian, and was active for many years at Calvary Episcopal Church, in Richmond, Texas. In her final years, she was a member of Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas.

She loved spending time at the Sea Isle beach house, especially when the kids and grandkids could be there too. She enjoyed finding shells at the beach, which she would often turn into works of art. Beverly and Luke also enjoyed extensive travelling and were avid square-dancers with The Brazos Bottom Belles and Beaus. She had a deep appreciation for antiques and had a rather large collection. She also enjoyed watching the news and would often engage in spirited political discussions.

Beverly was an elegant woman with a kind heart and generous soul. Though greatly missed, her influence and love lives on!

In Lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to The Wounded Warrior Project or The Salvation Army.
