Beverley Sue Van Cleave

She is survived by her loving husband of 50 years, Wesley Ray “Jack” Van Cleave, Sr.; her children, Ronnie Van Cleave (Connie), Sherry Barber, Jack Van Cleave, Jr., Vicki Cover (Nick), and Jimmy Van Cleave, all of Corpus Christi, Texas; her brother, Mike Matern (Gayle) of Raytown, MO; her sister, Laurie Fraser of Dallas, TX; grandchildren, Daneen Broyles, Brian Van Cleave (Christina), Shannon Diamant (Michael) Trey and Kelsey Van Cleave, and Jamie and Kevin Bond; great-grandchildren Alexandra and Adria Herrera, Cade Van Cleave, and Ashlinn Thornton. She is also survived by her longtime best friend Patsy Ticer.

After raising her children, Beverley was most proud of earning her associate degree in Education with honors at the age of 47, and being selected to Who’s Who Among Students in American Junior Colleges. She loved to go to garage sales, work crossword puzzles, and was a big fan of college and pro football and the Little League World Series. In her younger days, she and Patsy bowled on a league and went surf fishing when the redfish were running. Beverley enjoyed her chocolates and afternoon naps. We will miss her quick wit and easy laughter.

Private family services were held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Beverley’s name to The American Cancer Society, 4101 S. Alameda, Corpus Christi,TX.
