Passed away on November 10, 2019 at the age of 87 surrounded by her loving family at Oakridge Gardens after a 12-year battle with Alzheimer’s Dementia. Beverly was born on October 31, 1932 to Charles and Ann Boushley in Neenah, WI. Being born on Halloween Beverly always said she was a “Trick and a Treat!” Beverly was joined in marriage to Earl E. Sambs on June 26, 1993 (Although together for a long time before marriage!). Beverly was employed at the Valley Inn of Neenah for as long as we can remember before retiring.

Mom loved being involved and was a part of a cribbage team, Gundi’s Gals, the Y-Nots and YMCA Silver Sneakers to name a few. Beverly was a snow-bird for many years, living in Arizona during the winter months. She loved putting miles on her golf cart and spent many hours in the pool. Beverly loved traveling‚Ķfrom being a Bahama Mama, cruising the Caribbean and dream Hawaiian vacations. Beverly loved spending time with her family, whether it was at home dancing, singing and having a cocktail, a Bingo-Bash at the Americano’s, or Supper-Clubbing with her children and grandchildren. Beverly will be remembered for her wonderful sense of humor, her caring nature and her love for her family.
