Bev Surrette

ORMOND BEACH, FLORIDA

A sweet, beautiful soul, Bev Surrette, passed away peacefully on November 27, 2024 in Ormond Beach, Florida. Born in Syracuse, New York, in 1954, Bev enjoyed a life filled with love, adventure and happiness. Her family moved to Ormond Beach in the early seventies, where she graduated from Seabreeze High School. In 1990, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from the University of Central Florida.

Bev married Jack “Corky” Surrette in 1993. Together, they built a wonderful life and a home overlooking the Tomoka River. For 40 years, she enjoyed a healthy Florida lifestyle on the river. The simplest pleasures delighted Bev – a crackling fire in the fireplace, a rejuvenating steam shower, scented candles, and fresh, crisp linens. Her residence was her own private retreat.

Most of all, Bev loved traveling with Corky, family and friends. Whether it was a European trek or snow skiing out west, she was an active member of the travel team. In her last days, Bev said she had visited everywhere she really wanted to go – a fulfilled life’s journey.

Her husband, family, and large circle of friends will miss her infectious smile, gentle heart and always-happy demeanor. Bev is survived by her husband Corky; brothers Don (Bonnie), Jim (Alice), Bill (Jan), sister Jan; sister-in-law Terri (Terry) Perkins and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Howard and Marilyn Maguire and brother Dick McGuire.

A Gathering of Family and Friends will celebrate Bev’s Life on Saturday, December 14, from 4:00 to 6:00 at the chapel at Volusia Memorial Funeral Home, 548 North Nova Road, Ormond Beach.
