I didn’t have many face-to-face dealings with Bev at Mehlville School District but over the phone I remember her as the hardest-working and dedicated employee. She would go above and beyond to get you the information you needed. Very sweet lady.
My deepest condolences. Bev was a wonderful person to work with at the high school. She was smart, resourceful, dedicated, honest and ethical. I enjoyed her company and often sought her advice. She loved and was deeply proud of her family and their achievements. She valued education and set high standards. She had many interests and I had great conversations with her. I remember her with fondness and gratitude.
I worked with Bev and her husband as a volunteer usher at the Fox Theatre. I always enjoyed my time with them. It was fun to see good shows and have nice conversations with them. Sending prayers of comfort to her children and grandchildren.
