Beverly's warm heart and steadfast commitment to her family and friends were hallmarks of her life.

Her journey through life had more then its fair share of struggles, loss and unbelievable hardships, but through it all Beverly always remained strong and stayed the course for her family.

She was a devoted mother and a dear friend to all who knew her.

In her free time, Beverly loved gardening and spending sunny afternoons on her deck with her children and friends. To keep her mind sharp, she enjoyed crossword puzzles, listening to audiobooks and expressing her creativity through painting. Her passion for these activities brought joy to her and to those around her.

She is survived by her children Heidi LeBeau, Denise DeAndrea, Kenneth LeBeau, Lisa Dubois, Christopher LeBeau, Jason LeBeau; as well as countless grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
