Beverly was born April 16, 1938 in Norton, NB; the daughter of Charles & Nita (Graves) Bryant. Bev studied at Sussex High School & the Saint John General Hospital School of Nursing then practiced nursing in Saint John, Montréal & Fredericton before taking on motherhood & homemaking full time.
Bev was a supportive mother & proud grandmother, had a delightfully dry sense of humour and enjoyed a wide variety of music.
In addition to the folks at Pine Grove, the family wishes to thank Dr. Collins and the teams in the Emergency Room and on 4SE of the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital for their professional, kind & compassionate care of Beverly.
There will be no visitation and the memorial service for Beverly will be private at the family's request. However, on-line condolences and sharing of memories may be forwarded to the family through the Bishop’s Funeral Home website: www.bishopsfuneralhome.com.
Donations made to Parkinson Canada, or to a charity of the donor’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
Beverly leaves us with memories of her wit, kindness, support and that incredible smile.
