I had the pleasure of working with Beverly at Advance Alliance in Jefferson Valley back in 1995. After I left Advanced Alliance Beverly and I remained in contact with one another. Beverly was such a beautiful soul, I loved to hear her talk about her beautiful family and fur babies. Dear Bev, you been on my mind for months I am so saddened by the news of your passing. My condolences to your family. Beverly I will forever treasure the memories of our chats and your infectious smile. Rest in peace my dear friend. Thank you for all that you thought me. Love you forever. Till we meet again my dear friend. Love, Lydia Gonzalez.

I am Beverly's first cousin by her mom = Rita Vogel or Rita Toohey. I had been working on a Family Tree on the Ancestry site and also hoping to meet Beverly. I am so sorry she has only recently passed and I never got to meet her. But reading this page and looking at the video, I can see she was very loving and had a wonderful family. I have one picture of her mom and have visited the Assumption Cemetery a few times over the recent past. I met her mom when I was a small child. My sister and brother who are older did meet Beverly and Donald. You have put together a wonderful memory page for her. I hope that I may get to at least to meet some of her family. Sincerely, Rita M. Toohey

Thank-you Rita - I'm sure mum would have wanted to see you. She spent many hours talking to me about the Tooheys (especially her cousins who fought in WWII). I do remember Rita even though I was small. I asked her about her malformed hand and she said it was from chasing a ball into a road and getting hit by a car. She was sneaking a lesson in and I was careful of the roads even though there weren't as many cars back then.

My beautiful Aunt Bevie was my childhood hero. I always thought she was so stylish, whether wearing a top and pedal pushers or one of her dresses. I remember wanting so much to be like her when I grew up. One Christmas she brought my mother a Christian Dior caftan. She had great taste and I loved the caftan. I was around 15 or 16 at the time and months later, I asked my mom if I could borrow it for a sleep over. I borrowed it and never gave it back. To this day, I still have that caftan as a reminder of one of the most stylish and beautiful women in my life. I was so lucky to have her in my life. Many summers she took care of my brother and I and she was wonderful to us. When my mom would pick us up, she would ask how were they? My aunt would always say “just fine”, or they were good, even when we had been anything but good, she never tattled on us. When spending the summers with her, she would ask us to run to the store for milk or butter or some item. She would hand us the money and tell us to use the left over to buy what we liked. It goes without saying we always hoped she needed something from the store. One day, my brother was craving a soda and asked her if she needed anything from the store. She said no. About 30 minutes later she came out into the yard and said she had forgotten she needed milk. Overjoyed my brother raced me to the store. When we returned home, I put the milk in the refrigerator and found there was plenty of milk. That was my Aunt Bevie, kind and generous. Over time, as I grew into my teen years, I was often invited along with the family to pick apples, or to go skiing. One year, my brother and I were invited along on vacation to Cape Cod. We were thrilled and ate lobster until we could eat no more. My Aunt Bevie always made sure to make us feel like part of her family. I loved her dearly and I will miss her so. She was the brightest star in my childhood. She was giving, loving, kind, and generous. When I think of her, I remember her smile and her laugh. I will never and have never forgotten how good she was to me. She raised a beautiful family and was blessed to have so many love her. A thousand I Love You’s, Aunt Bevie from Beth

Beth, what a wonderful tribute and even more wonderful memories. I know you have written my Mom a few times recently and shared similar thoughts. Though she may not have told you, please know that your letters brought her great joy. Thank you for always "remembering" her. xo Leslie

Dear Grammy, I went to the movie theater more with you than I probably ever will on my own. We saw so many movies together! I remember that one time you took to me to the movies and I begged you to see The Other Guys. Hesitantly, you agreed and I couldn’t stop laughing the entire movie. After the movie was over and we were walking out you told me that movie was the worst movie you probably ever saw. Anytime I see that movie on tv or playing somewhere it reminds me of you and the countless outings we had together. Grammy I’m going to miss seeing your smile when you saw me walk through the door or the times you laughed at all the things I said. Thanks for being a role model to me and showing me what grit really looks like. I know I’ll never replicate your generosity but if I can do a fraction of the gracious things you’ve done I know I’ve made you proud! Love, Benjamin

Mike and I are so sad to hear of the passing of our beloved Beverly condolences to the family . Beverly was our neighbor and as mentioned by our other neighbor Joanne she was the official neighborhood dog walker. Beverly was so special to us and especially to our animals after our KC died we adopted Sandy and Beverly told me she knew Sandy in the rescue and wanted her I thought a few times over that I should have let her have her. She helped us so many times either on vacation or working late she was there to love our animals Cellar-boy and Murray but especially Sandy. Presently, Sandy is blind but doing well yesterday a very weird thing happened in the morning Sandy had a bad seizure (first time) and came out of it, knowing Beverly passed yesterday made me wonder about the connection between humans and animals and I know Beverly had a strong connection with Sandy. I loved Beverly's infectious laugh and always marveled at her beauty, I always said she had natural beauty and looking at the wonderful tribute I see she was beautiful her entire 85 years. God Bless you Beverly we love you and thank you. Kathleen and Michael Malara formally from Frost Ave.

To Beverly's Family I had the pleasure of working with your mom at Hudson Valley Hospital. We had so many memorable moments that I will always treasure. Your mom was not only a wonderful person but truly an inspiration to us all. I always loved her laugh and our back and forth banter. She will truly be missed. With my deepest sympathies to your family. Jane Roush

On April 1, 1996, we moved into our new house on Dyckman Street. We soon met our neighbor Beverly, a short, spry woman with a dowagers hump and curly hair, which she always complained about. We would forever see Beverly outside pulling weeds, raking leaves, planting, sweeping, shoveling snow, anything that got her outside. Walking her dogs Molly and pokey at lunchtime. Oh did I say she had a full-time job? Yes she did!But she came home every day to walk her babies and check on Tucker the cat. Beverly then became the official Dyckman Street dog walker. Going on vacation...don’t worry , Bev will take care; going to be late from work...no worries; sick pet...call Bev! “Don’t you dare put them in a kennel, they know me, they know their home, don’t worry! “ I’ll have the girl across the street walk them...oh no you won’t, they don’t know her!” She adopted and cared for so many animals, her garage became the winter haven for the neighborhood cats! Bevie, always there to help, always giving of herself with her big heart! How our Bev cared for everything and everyone! She once told me she came home from work at lunchtime and saw my husband up in a tree pruning it and wouldn’t go back to work until he was finished and had come down safely, “what if he fell, nobody would have been there to save him”! Her family became our family and vice versa. We often talked about how lucky we both were to have such wonderful neighbors. To Ray, Kim, Leslie, Lisa, Jen, Meredith, Ben, Brynn, Trevor and Avery, know that Bevie’s legacy lives on! She has touched so many lives and will always remain in our hearts! We love you Bevie and always will! ❤️ - Joanne and Dee Myers This photo was taken in February! Jen brought her to see me!

An old school mom who was loyal and generous to a fault. She was instinctively decent as the older generations were - it came naturally. I never heard her swear during six decades. She wasn't a smoker, drinker or comfort eater (she felt guilty taking an aspirin). She was a wife to one husband. She never slept past 7am, and she couldn't sit down until evening (she would be glad I mentioned that). She loved the flowers and shrubs she planted in her cozy backyard. She never had fantasies of fancy homes and cars. She loved her reliable Honda Civic and always missed it. She loved her small chachkies like they were golden. She saw people with a humanitarian eye, and was neither prejudicial nor or a virtue signaler. She didn't "try" to be decent and she didn't "try" to make anyone else that way. It all came natural to her and she expected it to come that way to others. She could have a strong will, but at the end of the day she left people to their own space. Einstein said the simplest truths are often the hardest to see. Such innate and natural virtues can seem inconspicuous in daily life, but as St Augustine prayed to God about his mom “Your handmaid who brought me forth—in her flesh, that I might be born to this temporal light, and in her heart, that I might be born to life eternal. I will speak not of her gifts, but Your's in her.. O God of my heart, forgetting for a little her good deeds for which I give joyful thanks to thee, I now beseech thee for the debts of my mother...Let thy mercy be exalted above thy justice, for thy words are true and thou hast promised mercy to the merciful, that the merciful shall obtain mercy... Indeed, I believe thou hast already done what I ask of thee, but “accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord.”
