   Beverly entered this world on May 24, 1951, in Shelbyville, IN. Her parents were the late Gloria Jean (Landrum/Murphy) Dempsey and the late Richard Edgar Bell. Beverly was educated at Shelbyville's  St. Joseph Parochial School and graduated from Shelbyville High School.   She later attended Ivy Tech Community School and Indiana University Southeast.

   Her education, accumulated experience, talents and personal presence allowed Beverly to enjoy a rich business career. She was employed with Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation for 24 years. Her position there  provided  for enjoying her love of  travel as she visited  much of America. Though Beverly retired from B&W, she later returned to the workforce and learned new skills at Kindred Healthcare, Passport Healthcare, Hosparus, American Printing House for the Blind.  Her desire to serve her community even resulted in her acting as a substitute teacher in the Clark County school system (a short-lived endeavor).

   Beverly was a sincere, passionate, calm, deliberate and determined person.  Blessed with natural beauty, her inner-essence was just as obviously beautiful. She had a deep curiosity about life and was always in pursuit of discovery.  She wanted to always grow.  Also, she loved to travel.   In addition to her business travels, she and her son, Anthony, visited Europe and Mexico. She and her husband, Larry, (41 years together), were particularly fond of cruising the Caribbean Sea and visiting its many beautiful islands.  Their last trip was to Cuba in 2018.  Beverly was very well­ read and particularly enjoyed studying the Bible and attending Bible studies, until her illness prevented such.

   Beverly was preceded in death by her parents: Gloria Jean (Landrum/Murphy) Dempsey and Richard Edgar Bell; her step-fathers, Richard Lee Murphy and Robert (Bobby); and. her sister. Deborah Marquita Weems.

  Beverly is survived by her loving husband, Larry, and her sons; Anthony C. Goins (Leah) and Sean D.
