Les and Family,
So sorry to hear about Bev's passing. She was a great friend. She always had a hug for everyone.
We will miss seeing her at breakfast on Sunday mornings.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Les and family,

We always enjoyed seeing Bev close to the front row in church, receiving her hugs every time, never having to wonder how she felt about things and her dedication to the Parkesburg community and all Veterans.

When walking in town seeing her beautiful garden.

to the Ely family, I am so sorry for your great loss. Bev was a wonderful and caring woman and she will surely be missed by many.

I seldom get to Parkesburg more than 2-3 times per year (and some might say even that is too many), but about a year ago I met a good friend for coffee one morning at Seawell's Market, after having heard many good things about that place. It was more-or-less an "Old Home Day" event - in addition to many other fine Parkesburg folk from long ago, I also had the honor of encountering Bev & Les, and having a good long dialogue with them. And now that event is my final memory of Bev, and what a great one it is. Rest in peace, Bev - and thank you for your friendship and dedication to every cause that had merit.

With sincere sympathy to the family of such a fine, giving lady. Bev will be missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to the Ely Family. Bev was such a wonderful woman and she will be truly missed by all that came in touch with her. She always had a smile and a kind word to say. I will miss seeing her walking through the neighborhood smiling and waving. Please know your family are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this time of grief.

Bev,
You were one of the most courageous people I have ever known. From the Air Force to The Parkesburg Fire Co. to the Parkesburg Borough Council. You gave your heart and soul to Parkesburg and the town is much better for your being here. THANK YOU! Rest In Peace! Jack Mariano

So sorry for your loss.I lived in Parkesburg and knew Bev well. Don't know if you remember me but I have often thought of her. She will be truly missed.

Lester, my old friend. I was sorry to read of the terrible loss you suffered. My own wife suffered a stroke in early December and I recall how lost and frightened I felt until she came home. Now what I feared for myself has happened to a good guy like yourself and it is upsetting.
I did not know your wife but from the newspaper accounts she was a wonderful lady and the world is less at her passing. I'm sorry things like this happen.
Take care,

My deepest sympathies in the loss of your wife/mother/grandmother.
You are in my thoughts & prayers.

Les & family - Jim and I were sad to hear of Bev's passing. She was a good friend/neighbor to our family while we were on Green Street, and long after we all went our separate ways. She certainly will be greeted by many family members & friends as she enters heaven; and of course, she will be smiling.

Les and kids, bev was one of our families first friends when joe and I opened carmens restaurant in the early seventies, she was a special lady in our lives and also our kids lives.always a smiling face and the infamous Hello Darling. She was a rock for the community and will remain a sweet memory in our lives.

Bev was one grand lady. We (the Tenant family) grew up on Green Street next to her and she was an incredible support to all of us during some difficult times. She was a tremendous friend, could be counted on for anything at any hour. She is one of those people who knew your secrets and loved you anyway!! RIP dear Beverly until we meet again. Say hi to the folks and Pop Pop and we sure to track down Tiny Tim... Love to Lester and the family...

Dear Les,,,,Been thinking about you both lately. So sorry to hear of your great loss and it is a great loss.
I remember her always saying to us, "When are you kids coming home?" I think she thought of all kids as her own. A very special lady. She will be missed. Please take care of you. You are in our thoughts and prayers always.

So sorry to hear of Bev's passing. I remember her fondly growing up. She was a great friend of my parents - Bill and Sarah McGinnis. She will surely be missed.

Heather & Family: So sorry to hear of your loss of your Grandmother. Thoughts & prayers go out to you & yours, at this sad time.

Dear Lester and family, I am so sorry to hear of Bev's passing. She was such a giving person. Always coming dressed in full clown costume to give out toys to the children at our annual events at the church. You could always count on her being there. We are going to miss her. May you be comforted knowing that so many people thought alot of her. God Bless

Pat my friend, I'm so sorry for your loss, my prayers go out for you and your family

My thoughts and prayers are with the Ely Family.. When Bev would smile at you, you new you were important to her. I was important to her as she was important to me. I will miss her deeply...

Love Lillian

Bev was a true advocate for the Borough of Parkesburg - and Parkesburg will miss her I'm sure. Please accept my condolences for the family.

I always enjoyed it when Bev was in church at Church of the Ascension. She would always pray for our veterans. A kind soul; one of the joys of being at Ascension during the interim period.

Dear Les, Rick, Patrick and Heather,
Bev was such a wonderful lady...she had a good heart, a warm smile, and always made time for those in need. I will always remember her hugs and our long talks. She will be missed by those who knew her and loved her, and I am proud to call her my friend.

Les, Rick, Patrick,and Kimmy,
Lots of Prayers are being sent your way.. We Love you and will always be here for you. Rest In Peace Bev.
Love your Softchin Family
