25 August 1945 to 14 November 2024
Peacefully, with Jo-Ell by her side, Bev left us to be with her sons, Corey and Mark, and many others.
Bev was predeceased by many, including her sons Corey and Mark, Randy, husband John, sister Caren and her parents.
Left to mourn are her children Michael, Jo-Ell (Rob) and grandsons Corey (Delanie) and Jody. Michelle (Gabe), John Allan (Michele), Mona, Marlene and Kenny. Grandchildren Tara (Pat), Rebecca (Tom), Cody (Courtney), Kylee, George (Breanna), Nicole, Ashley, Taylor, Crissy and Brothers Allan (Patricia), Lindsay (Darlene).
Bev was a friend to all. Her contagious laugh and quick wit will be missed. Bev loved without judgement.
In her younger years, Bev loved to curl, play tennis and cross country ski. She always had a passion for reading which she passed onto her children. She loved cross words and anything to learn about forensic science. She loved her curling bonspiels with her cousin Deb, Ticki and Jo-Ell.
Some of her greatest moments were her cabin weeks at Trout Lake with Corey and Jody. They didn’t miss a summer for years. Throwing a football, swimming, fishing, sandcastles, movie nights, card games and dance parties where her laughter could be heard cabins down. Those boys lit up her life and she was their hero.
Mom and John spent many vacations in the north fishing. Mom loved the sun and the outdoors. She always had her beautiful tanned skin by April.
There were many camping trips to Gull Lake with all the kids. Later, we had many lawn dart tournaments at the family cottage in Beausejour (Brokenhead).
Christmas’ on Rampart Bay were always a big event. Mom and John loved spending time in the kitchen together and everybody, near and far, were welcome!
Anybody who knew us kids knew our mom. She was loved by everybody.
Bev cherished her friendships with Terry, Marlyn, Lorne, Donna, Shelly and her forever sister-in-law Mary. You were all amazing to her and she loved you all dearly. Some have already passed on and we know she is with you now, of course having a glass of wine, reminiscing and laughing.
Bev’s relationship with her sister Caren was a blessing. Thelma and Louise forever. She cherished their time together, especially going to the Fringe Festival and Act Fest.
Her love and friendship for her cousin Deb ran deep.
A very special thank you to the ladies of Park Manor Personal Care Home. Cathy, Dori, Celeste, Rachel, Tera, Tracey, Genevieve, Lynette, Erin, Barb, Michelle, Janet and Marni. Your care, love and friendship went far beyond the duties of your jobs. Bev cared deeply and loved you all very much.
A heartfelt thank you to Patricia Remillard. Your care and love for our mom went above and beyond.
At mom’s request, there will not be a service. A private family service will be held at a later date.
