Her warm personality made a lasting impression on everyone she met. Gifts and food were how she showed her love and she loved hard. Bev will be remembered for her generosity and sense of humor. She was an avid shopper and enjoyed looking for the next bargain-both for her and her loved ones. Auntler also had a special love for dogs and enjoyed visiting and dog sitting Sadie and Presley Vopatek.
Surviving are her sister, Daun Vopatek, her nephew and niece, Michael and Rachael Vopatek and her grandnephews, Porter and Vaughn Vopatek all of DeWitt.
