Beverly Ann Smith, a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on August 18, 2024, at 1:26 AM. She was 73 years old.

In New Mexico, Beverly raised her children with warmth and kindness. Later in life, she moved to Alaska, where she met and married the love of her life, Billy Smith. Together, they created a life filled with love and adventure, eventually settling in Punta Gorda, Florida, where they spent their later years.

She was a cherished grandmother to Corey, Alyssa, Logan, Rylan, Katie, and Kenadee, and a doting great-grandmother to Kari, Korra, Finley, Beverly, Skye, Kingsley, and Reign.
Her life was marked by her love for her family, and her unwavering kindness. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered by those whose lives she touched.
