Beverly Rose Trostel

Beverly Rose (Bev) was born April 26, 1935 in Los Angeles, California to Robert Manning Moffitt and Rose Ann Bryant. She had one older brother, Daniel, and three younger sisters; Colleen, Patricia and Emma Jean. The family moved to Colorado in 1943. Her father was a truck driver and her mother was a homemaker and seamstress.

She was married for 66 years to Thomas G. Trostel (1951-2018). She had five children by the time she was 26: Debra, Thomas, Jr., Martin, Leilani, and Rebecca. She had 9 grandchildren: Matthew, Clayton, Tyler, Evan, Kindra, Erika, Lukaus, Jacob and Kathryn as well as 19 great-grandchildren: Isabelle, Miles, Ava, Tate, Coen, Tess, Cade, Livy, Teal, Layne, Eva, Hunter, Sadie, Hannah, Jay Dean, Dru, Duke, and Bear.

In her younger days, she liked to golf, ski, jet-ski, fish, travel, take pictures, and watch soap operas with her grandchildren. She was an avid Broncos and Rockies fan. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren; as well as many nieces and nephews and friends.

She was an artist with a special talent for sketches and painting; as well as the many precious moments she captured on camera. Bev made over 100 beautiful afghans, keeping only two or three for herself, giving away all the rest - most family members received one of these works of art for a wedding present and on the birth of each child.

She often stated, “I don’t know why God has blessed me so much.”
