A devoted mother, Beverly is survived by her beloved sons, Brad Barger and his wife Melissa of Verona, Kentucky, and Brent Barger and his wife Ashley of Lexington, Kentucky. She spent much of her life taking her boys to church, school events, and countless sports practices and games.

She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren—Hadley, Nolan, Blakelee, Shelby, and Boston—whom she loved dearly. They knew her as “BB,” and she found great joy in spending time with and spoiling each of them.

Her faith guided the way she loved her family and served others. She treasured her role as an aunt and loved her nieces and nephews deeply. She lived with quiet strength, a generous heart, and a deep trust in the Lord.
