Beverly June Tupper, 85, arrived peacefully into the arms of her Heavenly Father, February 15, 2021. Her life is celebrated and remembered as one filled with laughter and love. Beverly was born on May 27, 1 935 in Arapaho, Oklahoma. She married Alvin Dean Tupper on February 20, 1954, before her sweetie left to join the Air Force. Alvin always teased his family that Beverly flashed her eyelashes, smiled, and said, "Honey, let's get married!" Beverly was a few days shy of being married to Alvin for 67 years. Beverly wanted a home full of laughter and love so they filled it with children: Judene, Linda, Dennis and Denise. The house was always buzzing with activity and a little bit of chaos. She kept her children in line with a rolled up newspaper and the threat of "wait until your Daddy gets home!" Beverly loved to sew and was an excellent seamstress. She also liked quilting and embroidery, but her passion was crocheting "scrubbies" for her friends and church fund raisers. She enjoyed her Wednesdays in the kitchen serving up hamburgers for the community.
