Beverly J. Gouger

Beverly was a member of Light of Victory Church and, in prior years, attended Oak Orchard Assembly of God. She enjoyed tent meetings and watching television evangelist programs on television. She truly was a faith-filled woman. Beverly was also a good cook and baker. She enjoyed canning, needlepoint, crocheting and bingo, and she would talk with and to anyone.
