Beverly believed strongly in family and community involvement. She enjoyed being a sports mom and sponsoring local community teams. Beverly also enjoyed a good game of darts, cards, gardening, and a good book. If Stomping Tom was on the radio, you know she would be doing a little jig. She enjoyed celebrating with friends and family for any event as laughter was the best medicine she would say. She loved going for walks with her dogs and was always happy to see her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Beverly is survived by her three daughters, Janie (Andre) Merks, Gaspereau; Brenda Duncanson, Hortonville; Jacqueline (John) Kelly, Toronto; three sons, Craig, Wolfville, Colin (Rhonda), Hortonville; Brad, Toronto; four grandchildren, Lacey (Whitney) Merks-Levy, Dre (Katie) Merks, Christopher Duncanson and Laura Duncanson; four great grandchildren, Piper Levy, Caeden Merks, Scarlet Merks, and Caroline Merks.
