Beverly Ann Gile was born December 12, 1932 in Madison, SD to Birch & Joyce (Welling) Gile. She married Marlin Hewitt in Pipestone, MN. The young couple made their home in Madison for several years before moving to Nebraska. They lived there a few years before moving on to Dallas, Texas and eventually they made their way back home to Madison in the mid-1960s. Shortly after moving back, Beverly began working at Bethel Lutheran Home as a nurse’s aide. After working there for a short time, she began working as a nurse’s aide at the Madison Hospital in 1966 and worked there until her retirement in 1999. In 2008, she moved to Nevada, IA to be closer to family.

Some of her hobbies were embroidery, tending to her flower gardens, watching movies and being with her many pets. She loved her entire family so much and cherished the moments when they were together. While living in Madison, she was a member of St. John Lutheran Church.
