Beverly dedicated 19 years to the Salvation Army until retirement. Her passion was going for long drives with her husband Elmer of 63 years. Together they would spend countless hours driving the country roads reminiscing about the amazing memories while making countless new memories. To many people’s surprise, she loved watching MTV daily and WWE on Monday nights with Elmer, along with their cat Biggie and dog Louie was just one of many little things Bev enjoyed. The key to Beverly’s heart was her family. Family outings with all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren are what she kept close to her heart and cherished the most. Throughout the years, Bev was known for her amazing cinnamon rolls and buns, which all of the family craved. Elmer and Bev opened their doors to many, most importantly to Carrie, Allen, Sharon, Keith, Denise, and Kevin creating one big happy family and never a dull moment. Beverly will be truly missed by many, especially her witty remarks. Elmer and Beverly will now be cruising on the roads of heaven in their Cadillac together watching over their loved ones as they are reunited again.
Beverly is preceded in death by her husband Elmer Lashua, her parents Sidney and Gertrude (Strassman) Wesenick, her father and mother-in law Francis and Mabel (Pigeon) Lashua, a granddaughter Destiney, and great grandson Marcus.
