Beverly was a career seamstress, working for Merry Maids in Randolph and retiring later from Vermont Flannel in Barre.

Above all, she loved spending time with her family.

Beverly is survived by her children Gordon Dezotell of Newport, Rory and wife Paula Dezotell of Williamstown, Stuart and wife Loretta Dezotell of Randolph, Lorinda Dezotell and partner Danny Clark of Berlin, and Sondra and husband Scott Shepardson of Attleboro, Massachusetts.
