Feeling bad of hearing about the passing of my dear friend Beverly. I first met Beverly and her husband Bob Square dancing in the 1970’s at the then Douglas park with the circle 8 club. We became friends. We also belonged to the burlington geaneology society . Bob and Bev picked me up once a month and drove out to Burlington to the monthly meetings. we were into looking up out family tree. The last time I spend time with Beverly was at Ridgwood right before the covid shut down. We were visiting her from time to time. My husband and I were planning to get back there once ridgewood opened up but sad to say we just was not meant to be Beverey was a wonderful friend and spoke always with love for her family and grandchildren and her many friends . Myself and my husband Ricky were glad and honored to be included as a friend. I say Dance and research on my dear friend The Lord only takes the best And you were one of the best and unforgetable friend Sending hugs, sympathy and prayers to the Kimberlain family From the Peterson’s Theresa and Ricky

RIP – Aunt Beverly. This world was a better place because you were in it. You truly were an example to me about serving others as that is what you did over and over. You served in your church, in the community, family, friends and when Uncle Bob was in the nursing home you even served the other residents and made their day special just like you. You always thought and cared for others your whole life. It seemed like you always were thinking how can I make someone else’s day. Thank you for never foregetting our birthdays and anniversaries and any other special occasions. I love you and will miss you! Now you can be with Jesus, Uncle Bob and all your loved ones who passed before you! Love your niece Terri Carls

My sympathy for your loss. I saw Beverly every week in the hair salon at Home Harbor while she was living there. We had great conversations and I always looked forward to seeing her. She shared a number of her food recipes when she discovered I enjoyed cooking and I have them all filed away to used when needed. I will think of her when I make them.

So sorry to hear of her passing. Remember her cheerful smile when visiting my mom at Home Harbor. She was always such a beautiful soul. The world was a nicer place with her in it.
