PAGE 10 - MADISON MESSENGER - January 19, 2020 obituaries www.madisonmessengernews.com In Memory of Beverly Feb 6, 1939 – Jan 21, 2011 She was just a teen aged girl from Missouri who fell in love with a G.I. Stationed at Ft. Leonard Wood. She had quit school during her sophomore year to go to work to help support her widowed mother and 10 siblings. She was a little short girl just a little over 100 lbs, but she could pack a wallop. After just knowing him for 6 weeks, her sweetheart was discharged from the army and went 2000 miles away to seek his fortune. Little did he realize that his fortune was still sitting in Missouri. After almost a year he saw the light, just like the prodigal son. Over the phone he proposed to her and she said yes. A wedding was scheduled in Ohio after a Sunday morning church service, but alas he didn't realize that the license that he got in Missouri was only good in Missouri. On 9/11/58 they were married in a parsonage in Missouri and on 9/14 were “married” again in West Jefferson, Ohio. She came as just a little girl from Missouri but Oh what she became. She only had 10 years of school, but she had the smarts and common sense to do most anything. Shortly after the wedding she told her husband, “Don't you ever hit me, you have to go to sleep sometime and I have an iron skillet.” She was a worker. It was a one day honeymoon and then back to work. Two years later she presented her husband with a beautiful daughter, three years later another one. She quit work until the children were in school, and then she was always home for them. She raised the children as her husband was always involved in something that took his time, and she did a great job. When her oldest daughter became pregnant, she said I hope it's a girl, I could never love a little boy. On February 22, 1995 Jake was born, she changed over night, they were inseparable from birth to the time of her death 15 years later. She was tight with her money, a garage saler and trash picker, and knew her antiques. She saved her family a lot of money and acquired a number of valuable antiques. She was opinionated, and spoke her mind. You either liked her or didn't. You always knew where you stood with her. If she liked you she'd give you the shirt off of her back, she was always for the under privileged and down trodden. Her outspokenness must not have affected too many people her funeral was one of the largest seen in years. She was a great organizer, she organized and would feed over 100 people at her church dinners. She was known as “The flower Lady of West Jefferson.” For years she planted and maintained flowers along Main Street. She and her husband purchased a 155 year old house that was falling down, and she made a show place of it with her flowers. In 2003 she was found with breast cancer, it never slowed her down. After a mastectomy and chemo it looked like it was licked. Then in 2005 it returned, more chemo and radiation. Some thought that the radiation would slow her down, but it seemed to energizer her and she would come back and work all day in the flowers. At the James Cancer Hospital she got the nick name of the Energizer Bunny. In 2008 the cancer had gone to her lungs. She was a fighter, where ever she was she inspired people, and influenced a lot of people by her faith. She gave hope to people who were fighting the same battle. Her quote was “I've had a good life, I know where I'm going and I'm ready to go.” On January 21, 2011 she got her reward. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. NO EXCEPTIONS.
