Jeff, Greg, Karen, Laurie and families,  

My mother, Angie, and her family grew up on the Putnam Rd. farm with Beverly and her family.  My mom had so many happy memories of all the cousins living together there.   I was very young when the farm was sold around 1960 but I remember being so captivated by Bev whenever I saw her there.  I thought she was so pretty!  And I remember the boxer in the picture taken at the farm!   She was such a sweet lady.   I know she will be missed by all who knew her.  Please accept my sincere condolences.

 My Memories of Bev are very special and I will miss her so much.  When I began McEnearney, Bev made me feel so welcome and made sure I had all the information I needed to become a part of the McEnearney family.  She and I became close friends always joking around and giving each other a pep talk when things seemed gloomy or stressed.   She was always there to lend a hand, listen to a problem, and most of share laughs.  Best memory was when she and I traveled together to Lexi's wedding and shared a room as best friends.  We stayed up late telling each other stories of our family and friends and always laughing.    She was always there for each other.   I cried when she retired from PM as she was a breath of fresh air and a ready smile.   Bev,  I sure hope God has a Steinmart or Macy's for you because you were definitely a fashion plate dressed to the nine's each and every day!    Love to all her family and loved ones.  

Bev has been my dearest friend for almost 50 years.  She and Ev were the first neighbors to welcome us to McLean.  Through the years we celebrated Christmases and Thanksgivings, birthdays, new babies, weddings and baby and bridal showers.  Our kids were best friends for so many years, and the adults in the neighborhood, the Dalmation 8, had wonderful parties, went to the beach together on vacations, had weekly coffeees and birthday lunches, watched over each other's kids as the little ones raced their Big Wheels, played horses, and swam at the swim club.  In later years, Bev and I would meet for lunch and share pictures and stories about our adult children and grandchildren.  So many happy memories, and I will miss her so much but know she is in heaven with her dear Ev. 

I was always welcomed into "the family" whenever I would visit my Alpha Xi Delta big sis, Laurie. Beverly was kind, mothered me just like my own mom, and always had a smile for me. 

For Laurie and her family - there's nothing someone can ever say to make any of this okay or to help you get through it. Just hold her in your hearts, and know that we're holding your family in ours. 

A lovely woman and such a sweet soul.  Peaceful rest, Beverly, you will be missed.

Jeff, Greg, Karen, Laurie and families,

Aunt Bev was a wonderful lady.  I remember her babysitting me as a young child and all of the visits that I made to Virginia during the summer months.  I was always so happy to see her.  She and your Dad were always so thoughtful with welcoming smiles.   If only we could turn back the clock.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, but just know that she is in a better place reunited with Grandma, Grandpa, her siblings and your Dad.  She will always be looking out for all of you in her special way.  

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  God Bless,

Cousin Michael Miranda

To Jeff, Greg, Karen, Laurie and your families. So many memories of Aunt Bev & Uncle Everette visiting and staying with Grandma and Grandpa every summer. It was the highlight of the summer for me as a kid. Such a soft spoken dignified and classy woman and if she ever raised her voice I never heard it.    I'm sure Grandma, Grandpa and her brothers and sisters in heaven are rejoicing because one more has joined them. 

From Doreen, Shaun, Derek and  myself all our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. God Bless you Aunt Bev, we love you!   

Laurie, Tom, and Family;

We are saddened to learn of the passing away of Bev.  Unquestionably, she will be remembered for that contagious smile, ever present 'twinkle' in her eyes, and loyalty and dedication to Mc Enearney Associates,  We hold you in our prayers, and we send our condolences to all of the family.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Ann

It was always a treasure to spend time with Bev; here she is with a co-worker from a company breakfast in 2016.

In the Property Management Department, we had a lot of great times over the years with Bev. She was so creative and fun! I wanted to share this photo from 2015 during our Halloween party.
