Beverly Jean Price

Born in Lansing, Michigan, to Inez and Victor Price, Beverly lived a remarkable life devoted to education, family, community service, and adventure. Alongside her beloved twin sister, Barbara, she shared a lifetime of experiences, friendships, and cherished memories.

Beverly's dedication to hard work began at age seven, when she started working at her parents' store, Densteadt's Variety Store. She later earned her Ph.D. from Michigan State University and dedicated much of her life to education, teaching elementary school at Wainwright in Lansing for 34 years and at Michigan State University for 30 years. Her contributions to education earned her several honors, including a State of Michigan teaching award in 1964 and a Distinguished Alumni Award in 1998.

A lifelong advocate for community service, Beverly was involved in Girl Scouts for 70 years and generously volunteered her time to numerous organizations. Her dedication was recognized with the President's Call to Service Lifetime Award for more than 6,000 hours of volunteer service. She was also a member of Pilgrim Congregational United Church of Christ in Lansing and Hudsonville Congregational United Church of Christ.

An avid traveler, Beverly explored 87 countries throughout her lifetime. She enjoyed spending time outdoors, camping, cruising, jet skiing, and sharing adventures with family and friends. Her many hobbies included sewing, woodworking, painting, bowling, and playing cards. She especially cherished sunny days in Florida surrounded by friends.

Beverly is survived by her twin sister, Barbara Price; nephew, Richard Price; great-nieces Victoria Price, Nicole Price, and Erica Schoenfeld; and great-great-niece and nephew, Eloise and Henry Schoenfeld.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Inez and Victor Price, and brothers, Victor and David Price.
