Beverly was born in Yakima WA on August 31, 1962. She was adopted at 3 months old to Earl and Florence (Suzie) Merritt. Growing up in Wiley City she loved her animals. Baby chicks, puppies, kittens and she had names for each and every one of them. She loved her big brother Thomas (Tommy) Merritt and wanted to follow him everywhere. In 1979 she had her first child Zakkery Davis, she was so proud. Then in 1980 she had her precious daughter Kesiah Davis. Bev took those two everywhere, she was a happy mama! She love her children so much that she had another precious daughter in 1986 Faren Frost. Her children meant the world to her like I said a happy mama! In 2000 she met her other half and best friend Tim England and they took care of each other and shared a home together to this day. They loved to go to the mountains, fishing and just hanging out watching the Seahawks, Mariners and nature shows.
As Bev’s family grew, her happiness grew. 8 grandchildren later. They would always put a smile in her heart and love each grandchild to the moon and back. Alex, Mariah, Mikey, Shi-Janee, Payton, Wyatt, Gaven and Hunter. Bev (auntster) and her niecester (sister/niece) Tina Merritt had many fun adventures growing up, from ambulance chasing to just getting in the car and see where they landed.
When Beverly was around 16 she found her biological mother Joyce Austin and they developed a friendship she cherished. A few years ago she met for the first time her siblings she never knew.
Some of Beverly’s favorite things included, her family and being a mother and grandmother. She also loved her 3 fur babies Violet, Precious and Ivory. She loved the mountains, ocean, road trips, fishing, yard sales, going to Packwood for the flea markets twice a year, casinos, Seahawks, Mariners, Nile Valley days, union Gap Old Town Days and oh yes don’t forget a couple of soap operas, music and Mexican Food. The list could go on and on but most of all when she got to visit with family and friends.
Bev was a traveling surgical technician until her diabetes stopped her from working. She had some great adventures and stories but was always homesick missing her friends and family.
Beverly is survived by her 3 children Zakkery (Sheila) Davis, Kesiah Davis and Faren Frost. 8 grandchildren Alex, Mariah, Mikey, Shi-Janee, Payton, Wyatt, Gaven and Hunter. Her Niecester Tina Merritt, Nephew Jerry (Kris) Merritt, Niece Sara Merritt and Great Nephew Tyler Merritt Great Niece Sam and Kaytlin.
She was preceded in death by her parents Earl & Florence Merritt, her brother Thomas Earl Merritt and granddaughter Shi-Janee Werst.

A few words from Bev: “I loved life and especially my children and 3 Boston Terriers. This is a time of joy and not sorrow. I want my death to be a celebration of life, that I loved. I would like my family and friends gathering to share memories of me and be happy, I am going to meet God. “No Squabbling”. I’m pain free and smiling down on you.”
