Beverly Katherine Stratton

Long time Palmer resident, 77, was called away to be with her Lord and Savior on December 9, 2019, while vacationing with family in Maui, HI.

Beverly was born April 8, 1942 in Columbus, Ohio to Marietta Holton and William Kyle Kaufman. She graduated from West Jefferson High School in 1959. She graduated as a labor and delivery nurse from Riverside White Cross Hospital, in 1962. She married Alden Ward Stratton on June 15, 1963. She and her family came to Alaska in September 1985 where she worked as a registered labor and delivery nurse at Alaska Regional and Providence Hospital and Generations Medical Center and Center for Women’s Health Care where she retired to follow her passion by becoming a nanny to many wonderful, young children whom she adored.

Like her mother before her, Beverly’s life was her Lord, her family and her church. Beverly will always be remembered as a loving mother, a giving person and a friend to everyone she met.

She is survived by her husband, Alden Ward Stratton, and her three children and their spouses, Wendy and Mark White, Lori Stratton and Jeanette Fuller, Chris and Tamara Stratton, and her grandson Conner White and Bailey Beaman.

She is also survived by her four siblings, Shirley Spencer, Robert and Samual Kaufman and Vicki Bishop as well as numerous beloved cousins, nieces and nephews and friends.

She is preceded in death by her mother and father, and her brothers, William and Terry Kaufman.
