Russ and I worked with Beverly at OCI. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Beverly and feel truly blessed to have been given the privilege of call her friend. She always willing to help out or give advice whether it was work related or otherwise. She became family to Russ and I as she had for so many at OCI. Even when we moved out of state and continued to work remotely. We stayed in touch and looked forward to our calls. She was so very proud of your entire family as you all brought her great joy. She will be missed and we will think about her often. Please know Russ and I will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Fly high sweet angel Beverly…. until we meet again!!!!
I worked with Beverly over mutual clients. She never hesitated to give a compliment. I recall several times when she would ring and say “Thank goodness its you” and made me feel special just for answering the phone. It was a privilege to work along with Beverly, she will be missed by her cohorts at BlueCross.
Ms. Beverly was a jewel, a pleasure to talk with and work with! She had a smile on face and in her voice. Dearly loved by HER BCBSNE Group Leader Team.
I worked with Bev for 15 years at OCI. She and I became fast friends when I started and I learned everything from her. She was the epitome of professionalism but more importantly a very sweet and reliable friend. I loved hearing her stories about Chris and Jeremy. She was so proud of all of you and loved you dearly. I’m so grateful I got to see her in June when I stopped into the OCI office. She was just as beautiful and energetic as she always was. She wanted to hear all about my family and was so proud of my business that I had started. I feel very blessed to have had her friendship for so many years. I love you Bev. Thank you for everything.
My condolences to your family. We will all miss you terribly. You are such a good person as a friend, as a coworker and best of all as life advisor. Love you Bev!
