My deepest sympathy and condolences, Robin. Prayers are being sent to you and your family for peace as you navigate this journey of loss and grief. — JoAnn Chastain
From Amy: I will miss Miss Bev talking with me about animals. I learned so much from her! I’m glad she came over and played ball with me on Friday so I got to talk with her one last time.
From Emma: She and King were the honorary grandparents of Quail Creek. I will miss her terribly.
From us: Please know how very much we loved and respected Bev. She was the heart of our neighborhood! A true fighter for people, animals, and the environment. Her legacy will live on. We’ll be praying for all of you in this difficult time.
Melissa, Ed, Emma, and Amy Wagner
As a former member of the “Brandeis” family, I had the pleasure of knowing Bev and visiting with her whenever work brought me down to the Southroads store. She was an exceptional woman and employee, always had a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone she met. Bev was truly, “the spirit of Brandeis,” and will be missed by all who knew her. My deepest condolences to her family.
