A Life Well-Lived. Beverly was born on June 21, 1936, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to the late Ralph and Iva (Charleson) Johnson. She grew up in Logan, Iowa, where she graduated from high school. Beverly had a passion for sports and was a pretty good forward on the school basketball team, often joking that she was “too short to be a guard.”
In her early married life, Beverly was a dedicated housewife. As her children grew, she later entered the workforce. She was employed at Western Electric in Omaha, Nebraska, during the 1970s, and later worked as a sales associate at a clothing store in Atlantic, Iowa, while residing in Anita, Iowa.
Beverly possessed a genuine warmth and had a variety of passions that brought her joy. She loved singing, enjoyed playing cards with friends, and found great solace in gardening. Her kindness extended especially to animals; she was a devoted pet owner and cherished her beloved cat, Kay-Lee.
Beverly was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Iva Johnson; her daughter, Teri Lynn Purcell; her first husband, Jesse Purcell; and her second husband, Charles Chadwick.
She is lovingly survived by her sister, Muriel Mackey; her sons, Jeffrey Purcell (and his wife, Julia) and Brian Purcell; her grandsons, Ethan Purcell and Grant Purcell (and his wife, Shelby); and her great-granddaughter, Emersyn Purcell.
