To the family and loved ones of Dear Beverly Wylie~
I’m so very sorry to read of the death of my beloved kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Wylie. She was such a kind and loving teacher, and I have vivid memories of those very special days in her care. I ran into her a few years ago, and after I told her who I was we had such a nice conversation. There are some very special people who leave a lasting, fond memory in ones heart and mind…she is one of those special people to me. Rest in peace Mrs. Wylie! You were one of the very best!

Our deepest sympathies to your family. Bev was our daycare provider for our son, Caleb. She was a wonderful lady and always so kind!
Aaron Breitkreutz says
When I grew up, I was friends with Beverly’s son Doug. Most of the time we road around the neighborhood on our bikes or went to the mall. But, on occasion we went over to Doug’s house. I remember Beverly was always busy with daycare kids. But she was always nice to me and my friends when we came by.
Keith Tongen says
I knew her as Mrs. Wylie, she was my kindergarten teacher. She made a very pleasant experience of school. Hadn’t thought of her for years. But remember her fondly. RIP
