It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Beverley Ann Jones of Lawrence Lake on Tuesday Sept 5, 2017 at the Extendicare Athabasca after a battle with Alzheimer’s.
She will be sadly missed by her loving husband of 55 years Alvin, daughter Carol-lee and son in law Stephen, son Timothy and daughter in law Vicki, Grand Children Sterling and Silver, Sister Patti Hunter (Bob) and numerous other family and friends.
Bev was born in Edmonton to Elmer and Marjorie McCray on May 8, 1938 where she attended school and worked. She met the love of her life Alvin in the spring of 1961 and they were married on March 31, 1962. Beverley stayed home to care for her children once they were born. She was involved in many activities such as the Girl Guides of Canada and the Block Parents Association.
Bev enjoyed her family and friends, loved to travel, bake, garden, enjoyed wine and a latte on the deck in the afternoon . She always welcomed anyone into her home with open arms, a smile and some baking.
Bev moved to Lawrence Lake from Edmonton with Alvin when he retired in 1990 where she enjoyed living until moving to a care facility.
A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00pm on Wednesday, September 13, 2017 at the Athabasca Missionary Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society or the Cross Cancer Centre
