I had the honor of getting to know Bev when my son Landon began kindergarten with Dae at Cornerstone Community School. Throughout our friendship, one thing that was always crystal clear was that Bev absolutely loved her family - especially her two children - and they brought her HUGE amounts of joy. She shared with me how seeing their happiness brought her so much joy as a mom. Ty and Dae - I know that your mom would want you to have lots and lots of happiness and joy in the days and years ahead, even though it might seem really, really hard right now. Bev also had such a wonderful, giving heart. For example, when another of my friends was diagnosed with breast cancer after Bev had been, Bev gave her a bunch of "chemo supplies" (e.g., ice packs) to help with the process and offered to talk with her. My other friend was so comforted and touched by this. I am so very, very sorry and sad that Bev is no longer here with us on Earth, but I am comforted to know that she is with our Lord in heaven.

It has taken me a bit to write on here. My heart is broken and my tears are flowing. Bev meant so much to me my whole life. I idolized her growing up, she was 6 months older then me. As cousins we were blood relatives, but my heart she was like my sister... my friend. We spent weekends together doing stupid stuff.. she once fed me dog treats and pretended they were m&m's 🤣 tried to squirting catchup out of glass bottle but poured it all over my face... yep. Stupid stuff.. We practiced volleyball together, shot hoops together. Fished, swam and joked. In adult hood. We didn't see eachother after the passing of Uncle Glenn (her dad) much. But would talk when we could and it always seemed like it was yesterday we were together. Forever my heart will miss her and a piece of me went with her. I will love you forever cuz!!

Bev will be missed by many. She always cheered on so many kids in the softball community every sport at that. It was nothing to see her hoping from game to game on any given weekend to watch kids of all ages that she knew! She was such a positive presence. Wednesday’s at Bob’s won’t be the same without her❤️

There’s nothing but fun memories to look back on when thinking about Bev. She loved hard and treated everyone like they were her family. She’s one of the main reasons my little sister, Naomi, got into softball! I remember how much she supported and believed in her; going to her games, cheering her on, and even helping her practice. Bev really had a heart made of gold for everyone in her life. There isn’t a day that will go by that Bev or her family aren’t in my thoughts. I love you so much! ❤️🕊️

Bev was one of a kind! She not only loved her own family, fiercely, but she also loved her softball girls equally as fierce. She coached our daughter, Brooke, for a short time on an 8u team. Dae was a bit younger than our girls but man, she got right in there & hung with them! Bev often shared those photos & spoke on how this was the time Dae developed her love for softball. Bev was so great at following so many teams, friend’s kids, her former teammates, coaches etc. I was also amazed at how she managed to fit it all in. She always made time to support others, in various ways, despite having so much going on herself. Bev, you certainly leave a void in this world but your love for your family & friends and all of their memories, I hope, fills the void in their/our hearts. When we’re at the field & it starts to thunder, we’ll know you’re hitting bombs in heaven!! RIH sweet lady! You are missed always.

When I recently shared this 2006 picture with Bev via text, she replied "Wow!!! Babies!! ❤️❤️❤️". This is how I always see her in my mind. Well, like this or in RHS athletic gear and somehow managing to make socks-and-sandals super cool! She was just enough older to feel like a big sister. I’m so grateful she was in Rittman for her high school years, as it meant we got to hang out, share friends, and grow a relationship that extended beyond the occasional family gathering. She was so spirited, supportive, warm, and funny. She will be so deeply missed.

Dae I am not sure if you will remember but I am Geneva Burrows Grandma. Your momma was her softball coach. When she heard about a coach saying he would not even have Geneva on his team because of her running (she was born with a club foot) you wrote a letter to Geneva from your whole team letting Geneva know that you all were behind her and wouldn’t stand for anyone bullying her! I cannot even tell you just how much that meant to our family! You are amazing and I know just how proud your Momma is!! Sending all our love to your family and remember to always be yourself!

Love

Our deepest and heartfelt condolences on your loss. Bev touched many lives with her life, humor, and infectious passion for loving her family and friends. Her fierce pursuit of “making life full for her friends” will be missed. BUT imparted to her children to carry on her legacy. God’s mercy awaits you at His gates.
