Beverly enjoyed spending her free time reading, working in her many flower gardens but most of all she loved spending time with the love of her life and best friend of 45 years, Howard. They often spent time in Skaneateles visiting the shops, enjoying lunch or just sitting by the lake.

Carol and I extend our deepest sympathies and sincere condolences for the family. We cherish our memories and friendship with Howard and Bev at numerous occasions at Park Place Restaurant. RIP Bev.
My sister Loraine (Ellis( Wells and I wish many condolences to Gina and grandchildren and Pauline. It is so sad that our brother Howard died about a year so it was a shock to have Bev follow suit so shortly after. Howard used to tell me how important Bev was to him and it was wonderful that they had such a long and fulfilling marriage. They both talked about how fortunate they were to have such a great daughter in Gina. Bev looks so sad in the photo above. My hope is that she is is now in a happier place with her dear friend and love..
