Beverly is survived by her daughter, Linda Hoel (Don) of Excelsior Springs, MO, her son, David Jackson (Sandy) of Conifer, CO, three grandchildren, Sarah Graber (Todd) of Bailey, CO, Brian Jackson of Denver, CO, and Adrienne Holm (Nick) of Excelsior Springs, and six great-grandchildren, Daniel, Eliana, Nathaniel, Theo, Michaela, and Josiah.

After nearly 50 years of marriage, Beverly was preceded in death by her husband Gerald in 2002.  She was also preceded by her parents and all of her siblings, Rosemary Barnard, Marian Rollheiser, Norman Sharp, Harvey Sharp and Jeanette Sharp.

The most important part of life to Beverly was her family.  She was loved and will be missed by all.  She and Gerald developed a love for travel, taking their young family on many vacations to Colorado, Wyoming, and Arizona, followed by Beverly and Gerald taking trips abroad.  After retirement, they traveled extensively in their motorhome, visiting most states, Alaska included.  Beverly liked to bake and cook, and she was an accomplished seamstress.  Most recently she enjoyed embroidery work, giving away countless tea towels to friends and family.
