Mother, the ribbons of your love are woven around my heart.

Beverly was born in Mill Valley and grew up in Oakland. She was married in 1943 to Alfred Hopp, sharing their lives together until his passing in 1998. After attending Merritt Business College, Beverly worked as a secretary at Oakland High School. Later in life, she served as librarian at Del Rey School.

But her greatest achievement is shown through the work and love it takes to raise and to keep a family together. The example of her devotion, gentleness and generosity will be a testimony beyond what mere words can express. Beverly is survived by her son Barry Hopp of Woodland.
