In 1983 the family opened Henry's Used Cars in Santa Rosa. More recently she helped her daughter at B&C Registration until leaving in 2015. Bev and Bob traveled the United States in their motor home in 1989. They also vacationed to Mexico, Italy, and Austria. One of their fondest trips was traveling by train to Alaska. Nothing compared to vacationing at The Tetons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Cascade Canyon Trail was a favorite spot for her. She enjoyed gardening at her home in Penngrove and campouts with friends once a month. Bev enjoyed auto racing whether it was a big NASCAR event or watching her son Bill and daughter race at Petaluma Speedway. She was the Martha Stewart of decorating, whether for the holidays or a large family celebration. Beverly gathered respect, love, and admiration from so many throughout her life. She made folks feel like family. When Bev's path took her on her final journey, she left this world with the dignity and grace for which she was known and loved. We celebrate the life she created for us, we cherish the time we spent together. We are all rich in her love and memories. That is the wealth she left us. This is her legacy. A Celebration of Life will be held on December 13th at 11am at Sally Tomatoes, 1100 Valley House Dr in Rohnert Park. Donations should be sent in her memory to Hospice of Petaluma, 416 Payran St. Petaluma, CA 94952 Celebration of Life
