Bev was a teacher as well as a nurse and worked at Surgical group of South Jersey at the time of her retirement. She enjoyed sewing and playing the violin.

Dan and Bev shared a wonderful life together, full of love, happiness, and laughter. They raised three children and were loving and dedicated parents and grandparents. They had a lot of love to give and didn't think twice to open their home and their hearts to many others.
