My sincere condolences to Beverly's family. I met Bev through AfSCME Council 90. She was a very kind and pleasant person who will be missed.

I first want to give my deepest condolences to friends and family. It was an honor getting to know (as I called her) Grandma Bev...known her almost 9 years. She was truly something special and I appreciate her always asking about me and my family. Always checking up on me. We would always be laughing on the phone caring on and we could go for hours. She was always a joy to talk to. She always made sure God was included in our conversations and I can appreciate that. She always considered me part of the family especially since I've been with her grandson for years. She will forever be in my heart and part of my family. My heart aches for you and the family. You're at peace now. I love you grandma Bev and always will...you will be missed very much. May you Rest In Paradise. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️ Love Always, Amber 💕

To the Loving Daughter's of Ms. Beverly, I am sharing in your sadness and peace in the loss of your mom. The smile that radiats in the picture, made me smile!!! May happy memories give you comfort as you face this difficult time TOGETHER. Love, Yvonica

Shelly, Kelly, Trea and Amber, you are all in my thoughts and prayers today. I'm sorry for the loss of your mom and I'm sending a virtual hug to you. Rest in peace Beverly 🙏🏿

We knew Beverly in her later years. We know, she loved Jesus and had such an inquisitive heart. We enjoyed our times of meeting together, and seeing the tender side of Beverly's heart. Beverly lived much of her life as a survivor. Now she is an overcomer, having entered into her eternal reward with her Beloved Jesus. It has been such an honor to know Beverly. We look forward to seeing her again.
John and Karren Turner, pastors with Healing the Heart Ministries.

My deepest sympathy and prayers to the family. I knew Beverly first through the AFSCME Councl 13 -District Council 90 when we both were Presidents of our locals and then the AFSCME Retiree SUB-CHAPTER 9001 and at The First Baptist Church of Steelton. We would have long phone conversations as well. A woman who loved Christ and now she has received her wings and is resting in Jesus arms. To the family, let not your heart be troubled. Joyce Culpepper, Steelton, Pa

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
