   Bev was born in Breckenridge, Minnesota, May 2, 1958. She lived her entire life for her children, grandchildren, daycare children and foster children. Bev graduated from Breckenridge High School and immediately started her family with former husband, Jerry Beyer. Bev had two children with Jerry (sons Brian and Daniel). She married Leland Peters on June 20, 1985 in Moorhead, Minnesota. Together they had Chelsie Peters in 1987. Bev and Lee took Guardianship of Chelsi Desotel and Tori Desotel in 2004 and adopted Elijah and Isaiah Peters in 2005. Bev’s love for her children made the decision easy to have a daycare in her home for over 40 years. Bev and Lee raised their kids and so many more together in their home in Horace. It was not uncommon throughout the years to be at their home and 15 or so kids might be present. Many times there was the allowed amount of daycare children, her own children and their friends all in their home at 629 Willow Court. Their home was literally the place to be in the neighborhood. Not only did she provide and care for these kids, she baked, cooked and was delighted to provide for them all. The idea of “the more the merrier” was definitely common. What brought Bev greatest joy might drive most parents or caregivers crazy. Bev and Lee started foster care as well and over nearly a 20 year span, they cared for over 70 children. Bev literally would have adopted them all if she could have. Bev had so much love in her heart and soul for kids. Bev lived her life selflessly until the day she passed. She was always holding on or fighting this battle for the next event or birthday or something for the kids. It is with great sadness that a person with so much care for others has left us too early. Her impact on all of us is profound.

Bev asks that any donations or memorial gifts be made out to Bevys Giving Tree. Bevys Giving Tree will provide gifts during the holiday season for kids less fortunate, foster kids, a n d kids battling disease. Her legacy will continue to impact children forever.
