wher she grew up surrounded by the warmth of a close-knit community. After 
graduation from Lake Odessa High School in 1952, she embarked on a life filled 
with love, laughter, and the simple joys of everyday life.He first job, popping 
popcorn at the local movie theater, would serendipitously lead her to the love 
of her life, Harold Brown. The two were united in marriage on March 1, 1953, and 
together they built a life rich in love and family until Harold's passing on 
Valentine's Day in 1999.

Beverly found love once more and married Roy Schlachter on October 7, 2001, who 
preceded her in death.
