A family statement reads: “Beverly was a talented and creative artist and upon her retirement, pursued her passion for painting. Through classes by well-known artists Paul Gould and Susan Fogel Morris, she was able to learn new techniques and develop her natural abilities. She was always grateful and admired them both as mentors and friends. In addition to her art, she was an avid reader and particularly enjoyed travel with her husband. Mid-winter breaks were often spent in Costa Rica or Mexico and in the autumn they would venture anywhere from the pyramids at Giza to the sacred ruins of Machu Picchu where she would photograph and gather subject matter for her art. She was devoted to her family and friends and cherished her four grandchildren. Beverly may be gone now, but she will always be loved and remembered by those who knew her.”
She is survived by her husband, Craig Miller; her daughter, Kimberly Hybbeneth and her husband Paul of Greenville; a son, Gene Cathy and his wife Jackie of California; four grandchildren: Paul Hybbeneth, III, Rebecca Hybbeneth, Gene Cathy III, and Jessica Cathy; a brother, Thomas Kamarad, Jr. of the state of Florida. She was predeceased by a brother, Arthur Kamarad.
