Affectionally called “DeDe”, Beverly enjoyed Louisiana’s outdoors with her family. Until her best friend and husband Tony’s death, Beverly could be found any weekend in Rockefeller Refuge shrimping and crabbing alongside him. Beverly was as comfortable being Queen of the Krewe of Town Revelers as she was at the duck camp in Grand Chenier. Beverly never met someone she did not love and was never shy of sharing her opinions. Beverly dearly loved her friends. Beverly was a proud member of Crowley First United Methodist Church and Crowley Town Club.
