Bev was a wonderful caring person to work with, always making residents of the state home as happy as her co-workers.
Paul and family, Bev was a super person, always willing to talk, and pass the time! I first met her when her folks had the Hopkins General Store at the corner of (then) US 27 and Old State road. I remember her every time I pass by where the store was located.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Bev, you will be missed by all who have known you. Rest in peace with our lord in heaven!
