Beverly married Warren DeGroot, November 30, 1946 at St. John the Evangelist Parish and together they shared 67 loving years of marriage before he preceded her in death, May 31, 2014.
Beverly was first and foremost a loving wife and mother. She was an amazing caregiver to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
