Beverly M. Ames, 82, Lewiston
Lewiston Morning Tribune (ID) | 28 July 2006

Beverly M. Ames died Monday, July 24, 2006, at the home of her son, Jon K. Ames, who had been lovingly taking care of her for the last few years.

She was born Sept. 30, 1923, at Pocatello, Bannock County, Idaho, to Lewis Albert Dunn and Elizabeth Bowen Dunn.

She is survived by her three children: Craig L. and Sheila Moore Ames, Lou Ann Ames Mains and Scott Mains, Jon K. Ames; as well as her grandchildren, Titus L. Smith, Samuel L. Smith, Abraham L. Smith, Hannah L. Smith, Colleen F. Ames, Shevaun E. Ames, Miriam E. Ames and Tabitha L. Ames; and great-grandson Kyran R. Smith and Kyran's mother Bonnita Smith and her children Taylor, Allyson, and Sierra; and sisters Donna Dunn Murray and Dorothy Dunn Gates.

She was preceded in death by her father and mother, her husband Raleigh and her sister Blanche Dunn Atkinson.

Bev grew up and went to school in Pocatello. While living there she met and started dating her eternal companion Raleigh Thomas Ames. They were sealed together on May 14, 1941, in the Logan (Utah) Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

After Raleigh received an honorable discharge from the Army they moved to Lewiston in 1948. They decided to call Lewiston home and started raising their family.

At first she worked for Pacific Northwest Bell at Lewiston. She then owned and operated Bev's Beauty Shop. She also worked as a waitress at Elmer's and various other restaurants in Lewiston for several years.

During this time she was active in garden clubs and liked to work with flowers wherever she was at. She was active many years in the Girl Scout organization and liked to play golf and bowl.

Upon retiring she provided volunteer help at the hospital and helped many years as a family history consultant for the LDS church at the stake center in Lewiston. She loved to do genealogy work.

According to her wishes, she will be cremated and the family will hold a private service.
