Beryl will be remembered as Granny, she enjoyed gardening, cooking and sewing. Her sewing pieces will be enjoyed for years by her family. Beryl and Elmer enjoyed traveling with their travel trailer and saw many sites across the United States. Her treasures in life were her dogs, they were her companions by her side always.
