Bev met and dated Donald Albrecht in high school and they continued dating while attending college in separate states.

Bev was happy to stay home to raise her three children, Edd, Amy, and Kellie, teaching them many of life’s lessons and grew on to love her grandchildren immensely. Bev enjoyed working as a Para at North Platte Public Schools until her retirement in 2004. She always loved her puppies so much and was very creative, which showed through her beautiful quilts that she made and gave to family and friends. Bev was generous, caring and loved being a mother, grandmother and friend. She truly loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and pets. She was never without one of her treasured dachshunds. When she wasn’t crafting, enjoying her beautiful flowers, or watching a Lifetime original with her lap full of puppies she was venturing out to garage sales with her best friend.
