She was born to Urban and Jean Charity on April 27,1942 in Nampa, Idaho. She was the oldest of 4 daughters, Beverly, Rosalie, Phyllis and Janet.

Beverly met EJ Hiett in Happy Camp, California and joined him after he was transferred to Alaska with the Army. They were married on May 17, 1966. The couple had 3 children, Melanie, Jeffrey "Scott", and Erik. They bought their home in Eagle River, Alaska in 1968 and settled in to raise their family. Her children and their spouses, Howard Goff, Darcy Hiett and Shannon Hiett, will always remember an amazing mother, strict and loving who was there when needed to help, listen or advise or just to share a great recipe!

Bev was known for her fabulous cinnamon rolls, homemade bread, pies, & cookies. She was active in the LDS church. She leant her beautiful alto voice to the church choir, taught classes and, for a time, lead the women's group. Over the years she also became the quiet confidant to all who needed a listening ear.

Beverly worked as a volunteer for the Red Cross teaching first aid, cpr and preparedness classes. She worked with people at church & in the community to make sure they had emergency kits and food & water stored for an emergency. She regularly donated blood for many years.

After her children were older, Bev started a day care. She loved crafting and baking and her daycare kids loved joining her in these activities. When her own grandchildren started arriving, she took care of many of them while their parents worked. She was the genealogical researcher and record keeper for the family and travelled to England to meet and document relatives & ancestors.

Bev leaves 9 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter. Corbin, Ava, Weston, Alex, Porter, Brock, Isabelle, Caleb, Drew & Ida and will miss her greatly.

She is proceeded in death by her parents and sister, Phyllis.
