Beverly attended Lima City Schools. She was a welder at Huffy Bicycles
in Celina, until the plant closed, and a Sales Associate at the Ben Franklin
Store in Coldwater, until she retired. Beverly loved crafting when crafting
wasn’t cool and she was an avid shopper.
In her younger years, she loved riding motorcycle with Max and enjoyed
traveling to the Smoky Mountains, out West, and wherever her family lived.
Ultimately, her many grandchildren were the center of her life and her
greatest joy.
Beverly was preceded in death by her sisters and brother: Barb Binkley,
Betty Bressler and Charles Cady; granddaughters: Love Zizelman and Brandy
Flowers; and great–grandson Easton Shady.
