Bev is survived by her son Rob (Katrina) grandchildren Kayden and Aya, Chilliwack BC; brother John (Glenda) Watrous, SK; sister Jacky (Brad), Saskatoon, SK.

Bev was born August 8, 1950, at Saskatoon, SK. She grew up in Watrous, SK. Following high school, she attended the Interior Design program at Mount Royal College, Calgary, AB. Bev settled in Abbotsford, BC where she raised her only son Rob, her pride and joy. Bev invested herself in family, friends and community. She was a very creative and talented seamstress who made many outfits and costumes throughout the Fraser Valley. Bev worked at the local food bank and fostered many children. She made a difference in many lives. Bev had a zest for life and had a larger-than-life personality. Bev moved to Chilliwack in 2017 to be closer to Rob and his family. Bev joined the local swim club in Chilliwack and could be found dining at Jimmy J’s or the Airport Cafe with many friends. Bev was also very thrifty and loved to repurpose all sorts of items into new uses.

A special thanks to the staff of Heritage Village, Chilliwack, BC for their kindness, care and attention. A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date.

Bev was one on the most beautiful soul I have ever known. She was a Mother and friend to me in my time of greatest need. She always will live on in my heart.

Bev was my Homestay hostess in 2003. She was like a family and gave me the best support. Bev was a great friend and I will miss her and love her forever.

Bev was a very good friend to me for a long time we fostered together, travelled, spent holidays with our families, cooked dinners, had friends over to each other’s houses. Sort of in each other’s pockets. So you can see I am at a big loss right now and miss her so much. She used to make the whole room come alive when she walked in. Good friend, great foster parent, lovely person I know she is not in pain now and that is wonderful. Miss you, Nancy

I met Bev at the age of 16 when my parents moved us to Watrous. Bev was the best person that I could have met as a teen as she was always upbeat and fun to be with. She introduced me to other young people and one person in particular has become my friend for life. I will always remember Bev and sad that she left us so early.
