Many memories were made working the booth at the Covered Bridge Festival and making stick horses, bonnets, shawls and aprons with the Earlham Art Group. Beverly had a wonderful doll collection and enjoyed digging through the boxes while at the auction looking for her next good find. She loved being involved in her children and grand children’s activities, and spending time with them all.
