Beverlee Jean Hubbard, long time Alaska resident, passed away peacefully on April 17, 2026, in Powell Butte, Ore. She was 95 years old, and died of complications from dementia. Beverlee married her husband of 50 years, William "Bill" Hubbard of Los Angeles, Calif., on July 21, 1951. Bill passed away in October 2001. Beverlee is survived by her three children, sons Thomas and Philip Hubbard and daughter Jena Turner, as well as a daughter-in-law, son-in-law, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild

Beverlee was born on Feb. 1, 1931, in Longview, Wash. She was the only daughter of John H. Copeland and Edna M. McCutcheon. She is survived by three half-siblings, John H. Copeland Jr., Jan Kepler and Sally Wilson.

In her early adulthood, Beverlee was a glove and hat model in Los Angeles. After she met and married Bill, Beverlee moved to Hoquiam, Wash., where they started a family and children's Sunday school program. The family moved to Anchorage, Alaska, in 1967, and in 1968 Beverlee began working for the Anchorage School District as cafeteria staff, where she eventually rose to cafeteria manager.

After Beverlee and Bill retired, they moved to Big Lake, Alaska. Throughout their lives, Bill and Beverlee dedicated themselves to serving the Lord, leading to the planting of Faith Bible Fellowship Church in Big Lake.

After Bill passed away, Beverlee moved to Sterling, Alaska, to be near her son Thomas and his family. She lived happily on the peninsula for many years, watching her grandchildren grow and participating at Sterling Baptist Church. In 2021, Beverlee moved to Oregon to live with her daughter Jena and her family, where she eventually passed away at home.

A service will be held for Beverlee at Sterling Baptist Church in Sterling, on Aug. 22, 2026, at 2 p.m. More details at everloved.com.
