Beverly was born November 14, 1935, in Henry, Louisiana and was a long-time resident of Acadiana. She worked twenty-eight years as a Cafeteria Worker at Acadiana High School, in the food service department for Lafayette Parish School Board. Beverly loved preparing food for the high-school kids. She had a strong work ethic, setting a great example for her family. She made lifelong friends with her co-workers.
Beverly had an unfailing faithful spirit, a heart of gold and treasured spending time with her family and friends. She loved to laugh. Beverly was an amazing cook, who for decades cooked on weekends for her large family gatherings. These meals will always be fondly remembered with her serving roast with rice and gravy, fried chicken, homemade bread and pralines.
Beverly was a member of Family Life Church in Lafayette, where she served for many years as a greeter, in the resource center, participated in the ladies’ intercessory prayer group and helped with the summer bible school. Reading her bible and attending prayer meetings was a very important part of her spiritual life. Being a daily prayer-warrior, her family and others knew they were always covered with her prayers as she made a list of all their prayer needs. Beverly led her family by her great matriarch example, she was the most forgiving and loving person they ever knew.
