With overwhelming sadness, we announce that Bev passed away peacefully at the age of 86 at Eagle Ridge Hospital.
Beverley Marie Anderson was born February 15, 1936 in Hardisty, Alberta to Charles J Anderson & Edna D Hockett. She was the eldest of 7 children.
Bev married Brian Ronald Foster de La Mothe on August 1, 1959. They had two children, Debra Lynn (1963) & Kelli Ann (1967).
Bev will be lovingly remembered by her daughters Debbie (Don) Lindley & Kelli Abraham (fiancé Shannon Myles) & grandchildren Brielle Lindley, Lane & Dallin Abraham. She will be missed by her siblings Ron (Mabelle) Anderson, David (Karen) Anderson & Jean (Jim) Russell as well as her brother-in-law Allan (Shirley) de La Mothe & sister-in-law Pat (Tom) Macdonald and extended family Ted, Lynne & Pat.

Bev was involved with Girl Guides for over 40 years, as a parent helper, leader, camp commissioner and a member of the Trefoil Guild. Mom loved crossword puzzles and her favorite soap opera The Young & the Restless.
In earlier years Mom loved to ten-pin bowl and play horseshoes, both of which she excelled. Mom’s greatest joy was her family. For many years she drove to Vernon and Alberta to visit her Mom, siblings and their families. Her last big driving adventure was to & from Palm Springs for her 80th birthday.
