Beverly Small, 86, of Peoria, AZ, passed away surrounded by her loved ones on July 17, 2022.

Beverly was born on June 12, 1936 to Edward & Mary Smith in Detroit, Michigan. She graduated from Our Lady of Mercy High School in 1954 and followed her family to Phoenix, Arizona in the early 1960's. She would meet her future husband Carl while working at the airport. They were married almost 50 years and shared two children, Michele and Roger.

Beverly had a successful career over the years but never lost sight of family first and was a great mother and wife. She earned an Associate Degree from Mesa Community College and was a faithful volunteer at her church. When she was not at home, you could find her at church. She made it her mission to improve the lives of others. We will greatly miss her infectious laugh, smile and big heart.

Beverly was preceded in death by Carl Small (husband) Edward & Mary Smith (parents) Larry & Ralph Smith (brothers) and Nicholas Serna (grandson). She is survived by Michele (daughter) & Eric Osborn, Roger (son) & Trish Small, and grandchildren Eli & Madison Small and Melinda & Melissa Mansfield. Great grandchildren Jensen & Max Owen and her Beloved Dog Katy.  Please join us for a Celebration of Beverly's Life Mass on August 26, 2022,  at 10:00am at Resurrection Catholic Church 3201 S Evergreen Dr, Tempe, AZ 85282.
