Beverly Meyer's Obituary
Beverly Josephine Meyer, 84, of Ames, passed away Wednesday, September 21, 2016 at the Israel Family Hospice House. She was preceded in death by her husband, Vernon, and is survived by her sister, Dona Hays, of Phoenix, Arizona, her four sons, Gordon (Jane) of Ames, Bradley (Brita) of Windsor Heights, Steven (Jolene) of Gilbert, and Douglas (Bee Tin) of Stillwater, Minnesota, her thirteen grandchildren and her soon-to-be ten great-grandchildren. Bev loved her family, cooking & baking, grocery shopping, scratch-offs & pull-tabs, greeting at church, and pretty much everyone else she met. On more than one occasion, she said, "If you don't bring me flowers when I'm alive, don't bring them to me when I'm dead and can't enjoy them." So in lieu of flowers, her family suggests restaurant gift cards, to be collected and distributed to the universally kind and gentle professionals who cared for Bev physically, mentally, and spiritually at the various facilities where she spent the last few months of her life here on earth. A viewing will be held between 2 and 4 pm, on Sunday, September 25th at Grandon Funeral and Cremation Care, 414 Lincoln Way, Ames. Bev's memorial celebration will be held on Sunday, October 2, beginning at 2 pm at Stonebrook Community Church, 3611 Eisenhower Ave, Ames, with a private interment to follow at a later date.
