She later worked at JC Penney, Brookside Dental Practice and Patio Realtors. But her passion in life was her interest in alternative medicine. She earned several certificates in Naturopathy, healing herself and others with her knowledge and homemade products.

Like her mother, Beverly was a hostess and loved to cook, bake and entertain friends and family. She enjoyed hosting bridge club, square dancing and bowling, playing the piano, girl scouts and doing things for others. Beverly’s artistic talents included knitting, crocheting, embroidery, sewing, paper quilling, scherenschnitte and many others. Bev and Walt created and painted wood crafts, and spent a lot of time with their beloved grandchildren.
