Beverly resided in North Iowa most of her life, spending the last 46 years in the Rock Falls and Nora Springs area where she had a Christmas tree business, “Roots-n-Branches”, and was known for her many flower gardens. Bev earned a degree of Master Gardening and shared her gift with family and friends. She had a love-hate relationship with weeds. She despised finding them in her yard but her favorite pastime was weeding!
