Beverly Lorraine Walker, Born in Kilgore, Texas on September 18,1938, she was the daughter of Hubert and Alma Buchanan. Beverly was raised in Beaumont and attended Beaumont High School. On March 7, 1958, she married the love of her life and they made their home in Beaumont. Beverly’s smile and sweet disposition drew people to her. She enjoyed having coffee with her friends and hanging out with her family. In her early adult years, she volunteered at Baptist Hospital and later took a job as a minister assistant at First Baptist Church of Beaumont. There she worked with several ministers before taking a job at the Beaumont Chamber of Commerce.
Upon her retirement, she enjoyed attending various events for her grandchildren and would spend several weeks at their home in Creede, Colorado each year. Once she became a grandmother the family referred to her as Mimi. Mimi’s greatest joy was found in baking each family member their favorite birthday cake with strawberry and carrot being the cakes of choice.
