Beverly J. Hexum, 64, passed away at her home peacefully, with her family present, on March 3, 2020, following a valiant battle with cancer. Bev was born on February 4, 1956 in Orlando, Florida to Julian and Janet Hexum. She was the youngest of 5 children. Being from a military family, Bev lived in Florida and Mountain Home, Idaho. After her dad retired from the Air Force, she moved with her family to Solvang, CA and then back to Boise where she attended Fairmont Junior High and graduated from Capital High School in 1974. At that time, she enlisted in the U.S. Army and served as a radio/telecommunications specialist.
Bev’s passions in life were animals, camping and enjoying new experiences with friends and family. Bev was often teased about never meeting a stranger and everyone enjoyed her sense of humor and kind heart.
Bev was preceded in death by her father, Julian M. Hexum, her mother, Janet H. Hexum, her paternal and maternal grandparents, nephew Todd Rist, great nieces, Lena Olson and Claire Olson. She is survived by her siblings, Ron (Mardi) Hexum, Janis (John) Hoeschele, Shirley (Tom) Rist, and Howard (Rae Ann) Hexum along with nieces/nephews and great nieces and nephews. Bev’s passing has left an enormous void in our lives and she will be in our hearts forever.
The family would like to extend our heartfelt thank you to her dear friends, Tammie Breshears and Theresa Owen who helped with her care during the last two months of her battle with cancer. Additionally, we would like to thank Doctor Karl Schultheiss, nurses and the staff at St. Alphonsus Cancer Clinic and the wonderful staff at St. Alphonsus Home Health and Hospice who made her last month as comfortable as possible.
