Beverly, affectionately known as Mums, was born September 3, 1954 in Jacksonville, Florida. She was raised by the late Wilbur and Avis Stephens. Beverly attended high school in Clarksville, Indiana and went on to attend college at Brigham Young University. Beverly obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Valdosta State University. It was her lifelong dream to be a teacher. She served as an educator in the Valdosta City as well as Henry County School Systems for many years before her retirement from Locust Grove Middle School. Beverly was adored by the middle schoolers she taught and admired by her fellow teachers. Beverly was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout her life. Beverly loved to spend time with her grandchildren and visiting the beach. Some of her family’s fondest memories are spending time talking with her while watching the waves and enjoying a Coke. Beverly’s greatest accomplishment, by far, was becoming a mother and grandmother. She was her children and grandchildren’s biggest fan, always encouraging them in any endeavor and never missing a concert, game, or performance. Mums loved her children and family very much and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her parents, Wilbur and Avis Stephens, Beverly was preceded in death by one sister, Barbara Rogers and one brother, Mickey Oliver. She leaves a loving husband, Larry Marchman of McDonough, GA, who will cherish her memory. Beverly and Larry loved and supported each other every day of their 43 year marriage. She also leaves three children, Patrick Marchman (Aimee) of Forsyth, GA, Laura Marchman Binkley (Brett) of Senoia, GA, and Kyle Marchman (Nikki) of Tucker, GA; eight grandchildren, Parker, Lillie, Maddie, Ella, Alex, Tyler, Colin, and Teddy; and two siblings, Melanie Meador (Doug) of North Carolina and Eddie Oliver of Florida.
