She graduated from Hawarden High School as a proud member of the Class of 1957. On September 6, 1957, Bev married Daryl Schlumbohm, and to this union three children were born: Renae, Denise, and Kevin. 

   Bev was a homemaker at heart. She enjoyed baking, and her pies and cakes were family favorites. She kept a very tidy house. In her younger years, she worked as a waitress at the Hawarden Steak House. Bev also worked at Hub Clothiers and Booth Pharmacy for many years in Hawarden. She loved seeing and working with customers and friends. Bev had a sweet, kind way with people.

She participated in many activities including Bible Study, Sunday School teacher, and Women’s League.  She was a leader of the Happy-Hi-Haps 4H club when her children were growing up. In their younger years, Bev and Daryl enjoyed dancing. Bev loved God, her church, and her family. She was a woman that always put her family first. She made sure that everyone knew that she loved them very much. Bev loved watching her children and grandchildren’s activities. Bev could still be seen at many West Sioux activities cheering for the Falcons. She will be greatly missed by family and friends.
