She became a trusted confidant and advisor to many young people in her twenty years at Quillen. She volunteered extensively in the community through the Junior league of Johnson City and Johnson City Schools. She taught Sunday school for many years at First Christian Church, where she grew up and was baptized. In 2005 Beverly was confirmed in the Episcopal Church and became a member of St. Johns's in Johnson City. Of all her many accomplishments and talents, Beverly was most proud of her family. Beverly and Steve had a love and marriage that lasted over forty-five years. She set an example of kindness, patience, humor, and resilience that will forever be a guiding force in her family.
