They were blessed to have such a loving, caring mother and grandmother. She was always there for them. Beverlee enjoyed traveling, bird watching, coffee clutching with friends, trying new recipes, and eating a good chocolate chip cookie. On Sundays it was going to church and watching football, especially the Green Bay Packers. Her homemade salad dressing was fabulous and counted on at all family gatherings.
