She received her education in San Diego, CA and that is where she met her husband of 53 years, Richard Bruhn. They were married on March 3, 1950 in Yuma AZ. You could often find her working alongside Richard up on the hill in their saw mill. They worked hard and played hard, later in the week they would be fishing at Lake Koocanusa, camping or just being at home playing games with friends. She was an avid collector of dolls and ducks. Her home cooked meals were loved by all. She worked outside of the home only a few times. She was a wonderful stay at home mother to her four children, Kathy (Tary) Richardson of Havre, MT, Rick (Laurel) Bruhn of Hermiston, OR, Brad (Joy) Bruhn of Winnemucca, NV, Cindy (Virgil) Rondeau of Port Townsend, WA. Beverley’s survivors also include Brother Charles Oswalt (Carol) of Ramona, CA and Sister-in-law Holly Krumwied of San Diego, CA, her 8 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Beverley had so many special nieces and nephews that she also considered her grandchildren; in fact she was Mom or Grandma to everyone. She is preceded in death by her parents; husband Richard Bruhn, brothers Jerry Oswalt and Donald Church.
