Bev had a passion for children. She helped shape countless lives in the Canton community during her 29 years as a daycare provider. When Grandma “Beb” wasn’t caring for children, she loved to crochet. She made hundreds of blankets for friends, family and Project Linus. In addition, she walked for many years to support the American Cancer Society, loved to go camping, and was well known for her handmade Halloween and Christmas ornaments. She will be remembered as a selfless woman who loved her family, children, anything pink, and butterflies.
