For many years they would summer in Indiana at the farm and then travel to Dothan, Alabama and to Florida to spend the winter months close to family and friends. They finally moved to Dothan in 1999 and lived together in a small farmhouse to be close to her daughter’s family. Beverly and Jim loved to play boardgames together, including a standing date everyday at 3pm to play Scrabble. Her grandchildren and great grandchidlren say she was known for her sweet tooth, carrying chocolate candies in her walker wherever she went, and her grandchildren loved giving her chocolate gifts that would make her smile. Beverly loved creating intricate sewing crafts for her family, and she made a special crochet blanket for each of her grandchildren to cherish.
