Beverly Gwendolyn Henry

Beverly Gwendolyn Henry, a woman who loved her family, friends, flowers, freedom, and faith, passed away on April 14, 2026. Born on August 17, 1924, in Cameron, Wisconsin. She was 101 ½ years old. Bev was raised in Cameron, Wisconsin and graduated from Cameron High School in 1941. In school, she was a cheerleader, acted in school plays, played the trumpet and was the marching band drum major. After high school, she traveled to San Francisco, CA where she attended business school and worked for the 12th Naval District Headquarters during World War ll. While there, she met the love of her life, Wesley. They were married on August 28, 1945. After Wes graduated from California Polytechnic State University, they relocated to Minnesota for Wes' job at General Mills. Bev and family traveled around the US with Wes for weeks to months at a time for his job. They built their first and only home in St. Anthony Village over 70 years ago, the same home Bev has lived in up until she passed away. Bev had a wonderful impact on everyone she met and her laugh was contagious. She was a huge Green Bay Packer fan, an avid bowler with Wes and with her neighborhood friends. She volunteered for the high school band, making outfits for Pops Concerts and coordinating fund raisers which led her to a part-time job in the Silver Department at Dayton's in downtown Minneapolis that she loved. She also taught Sunday school and was a Girl Scout troop leader. Most recently, she thoroughly enjoyed her Wednesday morning Bible Study group at Nativity and quilting and baking with her church friends. Bev was a very talented and creative painter, sewer, and maker of ceramics. She loved to work in her yard and was very particular about the appearance of her home. She would start every morning with her daily devotion and morning prayer, followed by a cup of coffee and her daily newspaper. What Bev cherished the most was her family, her children, her grandchildren, her great grandchildren (and the Green Bay Packers). She loved to attend the events of her children and grandchildren whenever possible. She had a special fondness for her great grandchildren. In her eyes, each one was a blessing. She was strong-willed, smart, independent and fun to be with. A life well lived guided by her faith ... God's gift to all of us. She will be forever missed and always in our hearts. Beverly is survived by her three children, nine grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. Daughters Leslie Sigler (Chris), Jamie Rimell (Frank), and son Jeff (Marian) Grandchildren: Christopher Jr. (Monique), Brittany Nikol (Mike), Catherine Eggleston (Matt), Patrick (Desiray), Connor Rimell, Taylor Rimell, Jeffrey Jr. (Yuri), Ashley, Brandon (Christina).
