At the heart of Beverly's world was her family. As the loving wife of the late Clifford John McInnis, and the cherished mother to Cindy Lou Joachim, she created a home where love was the foundation.

Her siblings, Richard Hartman (Star) and Dorthy Lock (Rodger), shared in the tapestry of her life, enriched by her unwavering support and love. Beverly's parents, Frank and Hellen Hartman, instilled in her the virtues of hard work and resilience, which she embodied throughout her life.
Beverly's dedication to her family knew no bounds. Her commitment to providing the best for her daughter and grandchildren was evident in every aspect of her life. She worked tirelessly to ensure they had the finest - from the latest fashion and shoes for Cindy to the most sought-after toys and experiences for her grandchildren. Her love was expressed through these acts of generosity, creating memories that were about much more than material things.
An accomplished seamstress, Beverly's creative talents shone brightest when making award-winning Halloween costumes for her grandchildren. Her culinary skills brought the family together around the table, turning meals into celebrations of togetherness. Beverly's home was a place of warmth, laughter, and the aroma of her lovingly prepared dishes.
Her adventurous spirit was a source of inspiration to all.
