Beverly was born December 25, 1940 in Toledo, Ohio. As a Christmas baby, she continued to be a gift of love and joy to her family and friends for 73 years. She died on Monday, September 29, 2014 on a gorgeous autumn day, her favorite season. She graduated from Waite High School in 1958 where she met the love of her life, Larry "Butch" Wamer. They were married on August 15, 1959 and celebrated 55 wonderful years together.

Beverly worked the majority of her adult life beginning at the Libbey-Owens-Ford Tech Center as a receptionist for two years and then after her youngest son started school she worked along side her husband for 31 years as the Vice President and Bookkeeper for the family-operated business, Park-Ellis ServiceMaster.

Bev was known to be a fantastic cook, learning many of the Wamer family secrets from her mother-in-law. Her famous taco salad was a tradition for her to make for family functions. She has been a staunch Ohio State Buckeye fan all her life and was in attendance at the infamous 1971 "Woody Hayes" sideline marker game in Ann Arbor. She proudly wore her scarlet and gray surrounded by a sea of Michigan fans. Bev loved playing cards, especially beating the guys at poker and taking trips across the country with friends Dick and Ruth Utter.

For the last 38 years, Bev has also been a proud Oregon City Schools parent and Clay High Band, Limelighter and Athletic Booster and Super Fan while her children and several grandchildren participated in countless activities and sports.
