Beverley was a woman of faith who based her life in her faith, family and friends.  She was a member of the Faith United Methodist Church in Indianapolis.  Beverly worked in Human Resources for many years at Rand McNally and made many life long friends.  She loved to travel, decorate for all seasons and holidays and was a lifelong choir member.  Bev also had a great love for the beach and anything Disney.   Beverley made it her mission to make everyone feel welcome and loved.  She took great pride in including everyone.  There was not a holiday or event that would go unmarked with a handwritten card from her.  Friends and family could look forward to receiving her greetings.  The friends of grandchildren and great grandchildren even called her grandma.  People were naturally drawn to her and her personality.

She will be missed by many.
