Bev will be greatly missed! She touched the lives of so many. I had the honor to call her my Soroptimist sponsor, my Soropti-mom and my friend. My condolences to all her family and friends. She will live on in our hearts and our memories.
I have so many memories as a child going to see Jim & Bev during Halloween, and Bev would always have the best candies for us.
After I graduated from college I would join my parents in going to Bev’s house for shrimp and wine. Those were the best memories. She’d have the prettiest spread all put out for us and we’d have awesome conversations.
After I got married anf started having kids Bev would always send birthday cards, gifts and she’d often text.
I’m going to miss Bev with all my heart. She was such an amazing woman!
So sad to see the passing of Beverly. Jim was our accountant while we owned the Creative Apple and we would see Bev on a regular basis. Then I joined Soroptimist Chico and got to know her even better. What a caring, always upbeat, and energetic woman. I had just passed her while walking in Bidwell Park recently, making be realize how precious each day can be.
My thoughts to her beautiful family, she will be greatly missed.
Bev was a dear P.E.O. sister and will be greatly missed. Hugs to the family.
I am so sad to hear of Bev’s passing.
Jim was our accountant, and we met Bev as she was his assistant. Also, both her daughters worked at our Baskin-Robbins store. I was so delighted to see Bev again when I joined PEO. Grateful to have the opportunity to visit with Bev at our meetings. I loved to hear about how much she loved to travel.
Silly and sassy, kind and generous, and always up for fun and adventure. We will miss our friend and neighbor, and hope her family finds strength and comfort from so many wonderful memories.
