Beverly Lois Murray, age 65, of Lewes, DE passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on September 7, 2014. She was the daughter of the late Walter and Rebecca (Miller) Brown. Beverly was born on October 11, 1948 in Wilmington, DE and grew up in the New Castle area. Beverly graduated William Penn High School in 1966 and received degrees from Goldey Beacom Community College and Delaware Technical Community College. Beverly pursued and excelled in a series of full-time and part-time jobs including office management in banking, nature center work and real estate property management until her retirement in 2010.
Beverly was a very loving and caring Wife, Mother, Aunt and Grandmother who always put others first in all that she did. She was an avid reader and active member in her community including Milford Little League. She enjoyed traveling with her husband, Ken, to his various work locations and on visits to be with her son, Michael, while he was serving in the US Navy, to places like Germany, Bahrain, England, Ireland and Italy.
Most of all she delighted in spending time with her family who will miss her dearly. She reveled in the achievements of her children and grandchildren and her positive attitude was contagious for all around her. Her grandchildren called her “MomMom Bev” and loved spending every moment of their time with her. She was a wife, mother and grandmother but most of all she was a best-friend.
