Beverly Shepherd

Beverly Shepherd of Arvada passed away on October 20, 2022.  She was born on February 6, 1932 in Bostwick, Nebraska, the youngest of four siblings.  She  relocated to Colorado in the 1950s, when her family moved to Englewood, Colorado.  Twice widowed at a young age, she raised her two children as a single mother from 1974 on.  She was an accomplished seamstress, known for the beautiful draperies, clothes and the costumes she created.  She later worked as a Trade Show Manager for 20 years, producing shows such as the Sports, Boat and Travel Show and the Garden and Home Show.

After her retirement in 1999, she found great joy in Saturday night sleepovers with her two grandsons, Andrew and Mason.  Her church was important to her and she served as a volunteer receptionist for the office, supported seniors in assisted living facilities as a part of the Sewing Club, and volunteered for the Arvada Food Bank backpack program.  She enjoyed other church activities including Primetimers and she was a long-time member of the Priscilla Circle in Presbyterian Women.

Beverly was positive, kind, caring and generous.  She is survived by her two children, Myla (Dan Cheezum) and Greg (Wanda) and her two grandsons, Andrew and Mason.

Services will be held at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Arvada on November 5, 2022 at 1:00 p.m.  She will be interred at Ft. Logan in a family ceremony the following week.
