When Bev lived on the farm, she helped with livestock and worked in the field along side her husband. She loved growing a big garden full of vegetables and lots of beautiful flowers. She also loved to cook and bake, making sure nobody went home hungry. She worked at several places in York including: King’s Court, May’s Gift’s & Flowers, Chances R, Bein’s Gifts, and The Garden Gate. She loved visiting with her customers, considering them her friends. Later, she worked as a para at the McCool Jct. Public School where everyone called her “Grandma Bev.”
Bev was baptized, confirmed, and married at the First Lutheran Church of McCool, where she was involved for many years. She was currently a member of the First Evangelical Lutheran Church of York. Organizations she was involved with were: The Cherry Lot Extension Club, McCool Auxiliary, McCool School Board, York County Extension Board, Up-N-Atom Extension Club, McCool Community Club, and Red Hat Club to name a few.
Spending time with family and friends meant so much to her. Her grandchildren held a very special place in her heart and attending their activities was her top priority. She was always there to cheer them on.
