She was very proud to have served in the army and earned a M16 marksman badge and expert hand grenade badge.In 1987, her son, Daniel Dean Harris was born. Danny came into this world with a smile that would melt his mother’s heart. Bev’s unconditional love for Danny was truly admirable.

She was an extremely smart woman with an incredible work ethic.Beverly’s journey in life brought her to the Sheridan Veterans Administration Center in Sheridan, Wyoming.
