February 15, 1946 in Montgomery, AL.
Beverly was known for her engaging laugh and big beautiful smile. She
enjoyed her family, friends, ceramics, dolls, and time at the beach. But
the real joy of her life was her grandbabies. The slumber parties, crafts,
movies, and Grandma’s notorious toy room, created priceless
memories.
She is preceded in death by her husband Capt. Samuel A. Sparks, her
son Kevin Michael Roland Small, special uncle Roland Johnson and
precious maternal grandmother, Lounette Price.
She is survived by her mother, Aline White, her Aunt Jeanette Johnson,
her daughter Michelle Flowers (Abe) her son, Kenneth Small III, her
daughter-in-law Lindsey Small, her grandchildren: Wayne Flowers,
Kendra Small, Sydney Small, Madison Small and Evan Small and great
granddaughter, Chelsea Flowers. Her brother, Donnell Fischer (Shelia)
and nephews Donnie and Jessie also survive her along with many
cousins and loving extended family.
She will also be missed by the family she joined upon her marriage,
Ginny Coleman (Joe), Bruce Sparks, Sparkie Folkers (Tom), seven
grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren.
