She is also survived by a sister-in-law and a host of nieces and nephews. Beverly graduated from Assumption High School and worked as a stenographer at Shell Chemical where she met Bob and they married. She was the most selfless and caring woman in all that she did. She devoted her life to her children teaching them the importance of Faith in Jesus Christ and love for family. She was a tireless volunteer in everything associated with their lives and activities as well as the Church. She was a parishioner of St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Metairie for 31 years. She was an active member of the SMM Mother’s club, volunteered weekly at the Rectory and at the yearly parish fair, was a room mother for many of us, served as a lector and Eucharistic Minister and in later years volunteered her time caring for the infants in the SMM Day Care. In 1983, she received the Order of the St. Louis Medallion for her continued service to the Catholic Church. During her children’s high school years, she was an active member of St. Mary’s Dominican High School Parents club, participated in the DHS Parents Club Variety Shows and dedicated time as a member of the Holy Cross High School Band Parents Club. She never missed an event that her children were part of and was always there to support them and cheer them on in whatever they did. In 1994, Beverly built her dream home and moved back to Destrehan, LA. She became a parishioner of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Destrehan, LA which was the Catholic Church where she married her life-long love in 1958. She cared for and supported her grandchildren in their numerous activities and concerts. Her family was her pride and joy and she loved cooking for all of them and having family gatherings. She was an excellent cook and loved to feed anyone who walked in the door. Her brownies and cookie cakes will forever be remembered by everyone as well has her love for ice cream. After devoting her life to her family, she was able to travel the world with Bob in retirement, attend Notre Dame Football games and visit family. Her last five years were a challenging time for her, but she handled it with grace and continuous prayer to Our Lady even when her speech became hard to understand. The family wishes to say a special thank you to all of the staff of Canon Hospice and Louisiana Hospice and her devoted caregivers; Ms. Mary, Fay, Loni, Janice, Stephanie, Bambi, Andree, Donna, Peggy, Penny, Christine, Lynette, Erin, Nell, Rowena and Rosinette.
