Beverly A. Peterson

Beverly A. Peterson, 87, of Walhalla, ND, passed away on November 15,2020, at the Pembina County Memorial Hospital, in Cavalier, ND. Beverly Ann was born July 14, 1933, at Vang, ND, to Helmer and Mabel (Pederson) Christianson. She attended school in West Hope, Hope and Harvey Townships. In 1952, Beverly graduated from Walhalla High School. She attended Minot Teacher’s College, and proceeded to teach rural schools for three years.

Beverly married Alvin H. “Bob” Peterson on June 10, 1955, in Cavalier, ND. She and Bob lived for two years on the Seward Peterson farm near Vang.  In 1957, they moved to Helmer and Mabel’s farmstead. They resided there together, until the passing of Bob in 1994, and Beverly lived there until 2008, when she moved the family home into Walhalla. She later moved into North Border Estates and eventually to the Pembilier Nursing Center, where she was taken great care of and shown so much love and kindness,  until the time of her death.

Bob and Beverly were the parents of seven sons, which kept them very busy. She would not have had it any other way, because above all, her family, and eventually all of her grandkids, were her greatest blessing and joy. Some of her hobbies included sewing , crocheting, crafts, baking, doing puzzles, reading , square dancing, writing beautiful letters to her friends and family, and going to church every Sunday, at Big Pembina Lutheran and/or Walhalla Lutheran. She greatly enjoyed the gatherings with many special friends, to chat with and enjoy a cup of coffee.
