In 1945, Beverly was married to the late Harold R. Beatty, Sr. From this union, seven children were born, Harold R. Beatty, Jr., Karen D. Smallwood, Susan C. Beatty-Palmer, Beverly B. Wilson, Cathy A. Banks, and Robyn E. Beatty-Smith, all of York, and Keith C. Beatty, Sr., of Phoenix, Ariz.
She was preceded in death by a daughter, Isabella M. Beatty; and a brother, Francis J. Barnes, Jr., of York.
Later, she was married to Harry Brodis, who died August 1, 1998. Beverly's spirit is carried on by her sister, Beatrice Covington of Reading; a sister-in-law, Tsuyako Barnes of York; four cousins, Jean Johnson of Frederick, Md., Leonard Palmer of York, Shirley Chapman of York, and Richard Jacobs of California.
In addition to her children, she has six stepchildren, John Davis of Detroit, Mich., and Barton A. Beatty, Sr., Lorrie L. "Oak" Beatty, Isabell Smith, Holly R. Beatty, and Conrad L. Beatty, all of York. Beverly is also survived by 30 grandchildren, 22 step-grandchildren, 83 great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, friends, and a special lifelong friend, Doris Gilbert of York.
A viewing will be held Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the John W. Keffer Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc., 902 Mt. Rose Ave., York, and Thursday from 9 to 11 a.m. at Maranatha Church of God in Christ, 116 S. West St., on the corner of West and King Sts. in York. The funeral will follow Thursday's viewing with the Rev. Dr. Aaron Wilford officiating.

Her hands are folded now to rest, hushed are those lips so pure, her spirit now among the blessed, no pain or sorrow to endure.
