After graduating from Klamath Union High School in 1949 she attended San Jose State College. Beverly married Andrew Honzel,Jr. in 1953, and they made an extraordinary team. Soon they were joined by sons Mark and Drew, followed by daughter Karen. Bev was a selfless and devoted wife and mother. She was an exceptional cook and hostess, and delighted in friends becoming extended family. She created a home that welcomed all who entered.

Bev was in every sense of the word a true gentlewoman. She was a trusted and loving partner to Andy, her husband of 61 years. Bev was a kind and loyal friend, always thoughtful and generous.

Beverly is preceded in death by her son Mark, but survived by her beloved husband Andy of Lake Oswego, son Drew (Betsy) of Klamath Falls, daughter Karen Musica (Mike) of Tacoma; grandchildren Tyler Honzel (Nicole), Jack Honzel, Dana Angelos (Greg), Hannah, Tory, and Ellie Honzel, Ali and Eric Musica, and two great grandchildren.

The family is eternally grateful to the team of care partners that cared for Beverly and enabled her to stay at home.
