They moved into Fairview where they've lived & raised their family for 60+ years. The family enjoyed summers camping in Idaho, B.C. & Alberta. Bev thoroughly enjoyed being a hockey wife and Mom, organizing many events, and volunteering with the Fairview Ladies Auxiliary. Bev also enjoyed years cheering on the Flames, Stampeders & Hitmen, she was lucky enough to go to a few Grey Cup games as well.
