Together, we commemorate the life of
Beverly Johnson Funke
By Beverly Johnson Funke
A Tribute to Beverly
Today, we honor Beverly — a woman whose life has been defined by love, kindness, and quiet strength. Alzheimer’s may have changed the way she remembers the world, but it can never erase the impact she has had on the people who love her.
Beverly’s laughter, her warmth, and the way she made others feel seen will always live on in our hearts. Even as memories fade, the essence of who she is remains — present in every act of compassion she shared, every relationship she nurtured, and every life she touched.
Alzheimer’s is a cruel disease, but it does not diminish Beverly’s worth, her dignity, or the legacy of love she leaves behind. We remember her not for what has been taken, but for all that she has given — grace, patience, and a deep, abiding love.
Today, we stand together in honor of Beverly, in support of all families affected by Alzheimer’s, and in hope for a future where no one has to lose their memories to this disease. Until that day, we carry Beverly’s story forward — remembering for her, loving for her, and celebrating the remarkable person she has always been.
I'd be so grateful if you would make a memorial gift in their name. It would mean a lot to me and those facing this relentless disease.
A future without Alzheimer's is out there. Let's get there, together.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
