She was born August 5, 1933 in Maceo to the late Golman and Marian Fenwick. Beverly was the last surviving charter member of Crosspointe Baptist Church, formerly Temple Baptist.

She spent most of her working years as store manager at Super X/Hook’s Drugs, retiring in 1991 after 25 years. Beverly loved to travel, having gone to 49 of 50 states, most of which her sister was by her side as they scouted flea markets, antique shops, and garage sales to amass truly amazing “collections”. Other hobbies included playing cards, Scrabble, Skipbo and enjoying family time.
