Beverly was born to George B. and Evelyn M. (Greeley) Moye on May 14, 1946, in Fairmont, Minn. She was baptized on May 31, 1959, at the Horicon Church of Christ in Truman, Minn. As a child, her family and friends called her “Missy”.

She was a proud graduate of Fairmont High School in 1964, where she earned the honor of Co-Valedictorian of her class. While at Fairmont High, Bev was a cheerleader, a member of the orchestra, the Latin Club, and the Chorus, as well as several other organizations. She continued her passion for education at St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minn. where she studied Elementary Education.

Bev began her career in education at Cokato Elementary in 1968 and spent the next 41 years teaching various grade levels. Bev was a member of the Dassel Church of Christ, where she continued teaching by being a Sunday School teacher, VBS teacher and administrator, and was also the substitute church organist.

Upon retirement in 2009, Bev spent a few more years as a long-term sub and a paraprofessional. When she fully retired, she relished the time she spent with her grandchildren. She also loved attending various Bible studies, book clubs, and watching NCIS (the Mark Harmon seasons).

Bev is survived by her brother, Philip (Nancy) Moye, her four daughters, Rhea (Tom) Langemo, Jenna (Gary) Noble, Abby (Jon) DeVries, and Deveny (Casey) Beaton and grandchildren, Ethan, Erikka/Cyrus, Sam, Maja, Georgia, Reagan, Elijah, Wesley, Oliver, and Thatcher. She will also be remembered by her nieces and nephews, cousins, many close family friends, and Markie May, her beloved cat.

Bev is preceded in death by her father and mother. Services will be held on May 14, 2026 at the First Baptist Church, Cokato, Minn. at 2 p.m. A visitation will be held one hour before the service. Burial will be at Fairview Memorial Park in Fairmont, Minn. at a later date.
