My Cousin.
When I was younger I never really was around Beverly Ann much as she and her brother were about 10 years older. But she was a cousin that I always thought fondly of. In later years we grew closer and Beverly Ann helped with the flowers at my wedding on Feb 4 2006. She and my brother were pretty close. He was from Georgia and she had a son in Tennessee so when he would come to Missouri for a visit, she would ride home with him and "get out" at Tennessee to stay with her son for awhile.
Even toward the end, Beverly Ann was full of laughter. Always laughing, that was Beverly Ann. Her mother could not believe that her baby died before she did, but now the two of them can be together along with Beverly Ann's father, Joe Dean.
It still does not seem possible that she is gone, how can it be?
Beverly Ann Caulk, 56, Neosho, passed away at 1:56 a.m., Sunday, Sept. 23, 2007, at her home, following an illness.
She was born Sept. 27, 1950, in Joplin, to Joe Dean Crowder and Mary Bell(Martin) Crowder.
Beverly had lived in the Neosho area most of her life, and had been employed by La-Z-Boy. She was a licensed beautician, a cancer survivor and a member of the Army Family Support Group.
She is survived by a son, Joey A. Caulk, Clarksville, Tenn.; her mother, Mary Perkis(Crowder), Neosho; a brother, Bobby Joe Crowder, Neosho; a niece Jodie Lynn Crowder and nephew Rick Crowder and four grandchildren, Chanler, Nathan, Nicole and Ashtyn. Other survivors included her aunts and uncles: Norma Crowder Capps, Dorothy Henson Crowder, Martha Crowder Farley and Leroy Farley, Garland and Dottie (Wylie) Crowder; cousins: Mickey Crowder, Randy Capps, Alan Farley, Susan Farley Snow, Sarah Capps Long, Roger Crowder, Steven Crowder, Debbie Crowder Cutbirth; former sister-in-law, Lynn Lankford. She was preceded in death by her father Joe Dean Crowder; paternal grandparents: Omer and Pauline Crowder; maternal grandparents Claude and Okla Martin; step father George Perkis; two uncles: Bobby Wayne Capps and Clifford Vernon Crowder; former sister-in-law Bonnie Van Horn (who is also buried in Burkhart cemetery).
