Beverly graduated high school in Robinson, Illinois, continuing with a Bachelors, Masters, and a PHD equivalent in education from Eastern Illinois University. After Kristin was born, Beverly began her lifetime career with a focus on kindergarten in the public schools of Woodstock, Illinois.
Beverly enjoyed a lifetime of crafting and woodworks. She kept her complete workshop in the basement of her homes in Woodstock and later in the mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. With her passion for the arts, she painted various media with themes for her friends and loved ones and spent untold hours upon hours building bird houses mostly for charity auctions and friends. Bev gained quite a following decorating charity events for her dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Dean and Norma Jean (Bragg) Greene.

To continue, Bev was in my Handbell choir at First Presbyterian Church in Woodstock. At the end of every rehearsal, she would always say, “Thanks for the fun!” She was always smiling, and full of fun! She was an awesome kindergarten teacher, and loved all the kids! I was so happy when she found Bob again! She was truly a special person! If I could say just one thing to her, I would say, “Bev, thanks for all the fun!!”

Bev was an amazing Kindergarten Teacher, colleague and friend. Not only did I have the honor to teach with Bev, but she was also my oldest son Drew’s Kindergarten Teacher the year she retired. Her love of art and drawing inspired Drew who is now an architect. Bev was the kindest, sweetest lady. We will always cherish the memories we have of her. She will be missed and forever hold a special spot in our hearts.

Bev, you were a very special person. I was so fortunate to be your neighbor and friend. We shared so many memorable times together, conversations, games, dinners, books, laughs and dancing (you were my favorite dancing partner). You trusted me to lend an awkward hand when creating some of your gorgeous table settings that so many oohed and aahed over. You brought joy wherever you were; that is how I I’ll always remember you. I will miss your quirky doorbell ring. You are missed and lovec

I will miss my dear friend Bev… my chosen sister. We laughed, cried, created and loved each other easily and fully. To Bob and all of her family, I am so sorry for your loss. She spoke often of her love for all of you. To dear Moxie, you will miss your human Mom. You comforted her so many times. May the humans in your life now comfort you in your loss. I know they will. My heart is sad and I feel so lucky to have been Bev’s friend. Kay

Bev was a wonderful lady - I remember the first time I met her was at 3 fillies and a colt golf tournament. Bev was a new golfer but was the one who gave us a fighting chance - not to mention a fun day.
She will be missed.
