"Som of my best memories of Aunt Bev were the visits on Christmas Eve, when dad took me out looking for Santa. She always had great homemade Christmas cookies and candy.
Aunt Bev taught my mom and I how to make molded chocolates. I still do that every Christmas. Although, she always had a few "naughty" molds that she shared with close family and friends. I'll miss Aunt Bev."

"My condolences go out to Bevs family, there is alot of memory's in the old neighborhood. Prayers go out to all during this time ...."
"Linda, Diane, Mike, Pat, Sandy, Kathy, My condolences in the loss of your mom. We are all getting older, and this is the worst part of the deal, called life. Also was sad to see Mary Kay leave us so soon. Have not seen you guys in a long time. Have a lot of childhood memories. Hope you are all well, and god bless. "
"Bev was a great neighbor. Her family enjoyed some great food at their house. It seemed the door was always open and family was stopping over to the homestead. "
"We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Beverly. We only knew her briefly, but grew to love her just the same. May God comfort you during this sad time. "
"I remember some of the best sleepovers at my friend Cady's grandmother's house. She was such a neat lady and we always enjoyed visits at her house. One year, I remember watching the Badgers play in the Rose Bowl. Then there were all those days of riding her moped in the empty parking lot near her house. All my thoughts and prayers to your family."
"Sorry to hear of the loss of your mother and grandmother. She was one lovely lady and will be missed by all. May the Lord be with you all as you mourn her passing. Enjoy remembering the great moments you had in this world. "
"I remember taking our daughter Clarice Pepper to visit the family one summer so that she could hang out with Lisa. My husband and I had the chance of meeting Mr. & Mrs Moliter, and found how awsome the family was. She was a wonderful person, and welcom'd all into her house. Diane and Lisa, you should be very proud. "
"There was no one else like her. I remember getting excited to see her old red pathfinder in the driveway in Illinois knowing I'd be greeted by her smiling face & the tail wagging of Mabel. She could tell you all about yourself in a way that made you feel as though she'd complimented you, when maybe she hadn't. Her laughter was contagious & I always felt happy just being around her. My love and thoughts are with her family. She'll certainly be missed."
"I worked with Bev at LMH for lots of years. She was a lovely lady, a good therapist and a helpful coworker. Bev will be missed by many. My sympathy to her family. Enjoy your special memories. Connie Hubatch"
"My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Bev's family and friends in this difficult time. I know how much a person like that can be missed. There a a few things I remember most about her. She had so much love, especially for her family. She had a way of making you feel like you fit right in. And she was a strong one. I remember trying to hide a smile a few times I heard her telling it like it is. And I will, of course, always remember the fried cheese curds! Love to you all!"
