I just learned of Beverly’s passing. She and I were classmates from fourth grade through our senior year at East Chambers School, but we did not stay in touch after graduating. She was a beautiful person, both externally and internally. I am glad to know she that she had a fulfilling and happy life. May Beverly rest in peace.
Charles our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Beverly was a kind, friendly, funny woman. I truly admired her. She had wonderful kids, and that is reflective on the parent. She will be missed.
MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS GO OUT TO ALL THE FAMILY
Auntie was 12 years older than me and she hauled me around on her hip for years. When I was in HS, she was my “cool” and fun aunt. She was also my friend and was there for me during many trying times in my life, always wanting to help. I loved her dearly and will miss her so much! Praying for Charles, Jill, Erin, Erica, Jett, Kassie, Kade, and all her grands! Our loss is Heaven’s gain.
so sorry for your loss, charles

I know your faith in God gives you peace and comfort. I love you and am here for you my friend!
Words can express the sorrow that I have for the family. I remember spending lots of time out at the house with Jill. Ms. Beverly could always make you laugh and always had a smile on her face.

Words alone are not enough at a time like this, but comforting words from family, friends and neighbors can go a long way. Since knowing Mrs. Devillier for over 50 years, even as as a kid in high school, I have never known her to show a sign of hatred or racism toward anyone. This is what made her such a lovable, approachable, and sweet lady. She will truly be missed by many. My prayers go out to all of the Devillier’s and Kiker’s during this time of need.
So sorry for your loss. She will greatly be missed.
We mourn with the family at such a great loss. We celebrate her homecoming in Heaven for a life well-lived…she was a blessing to this community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of sorrow. Sincerely, Suzie and Kenny Ortego
