Born on May 20, 1936, to Roy and Ora Nelson in Tacoma, WA, Beverly was a life long resident of Pierce County and graduated from Puyallup High School in 1954. Beverly retired as a staff member of All Saints Catholic School, where she cherished many close friendships and took great pride in keeping the school exceptionally shiny for her beloved students and teachers. Her presence will be greatly missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing and loving her. A devoted Catholic, Beverly lived her faith through action with a huge heart for serving others. She dedicated many years to preparing and serving hot meals with love and dignity to those struggling with homelessness at the National Guard Armory in Puyallup. She took Holy Communion to the sick and homebound. She regularly delivered meals to families in need, always giving them more than she had. With her pickup she delivered many donated appliances to rural families. Year after year, she never missed sending birthday checks to her children and grandchildren. Donations always went to any child raising funds for anything.
