Beverly Mae Craig went to be with the Lord on Dec. 26, 2017. She was
83 years old.

Beverly was born on Feb. 22, 1934 to Frank and Ruth Chall in
Minneapolis, Minn. While growing up, she loved to help out in her
parents’ small restaurant on the lake and bring some of the local
fishermen their lunches, provided by her father. She also loved
visiting her aunts and uncles on their farms and riding horses.

After growing up and leaving home, Beverly married and went to work
for several airlines, including Delta, PSA and United. She performed
various jobs, such as preparing boxed meals for passengers and
printing out tickets. Beverly often said working for the airlines was
the best job she ever had. She then remained a homemaker before going
to work for Traveler’s Insurance for 20 years. She retired in 1993.

Beverly loved to travel around in her fifth-wheel with her husband,
Casey. They would visit various state parks throughout California and
Arizona, meeting new friends.

Beverly, Casey and their family moved to Parker, Ariz. in 1998, where
she loved to volunteer at the local Veterans of Foreign Wars post. She
also loved to volunteer at the Parker Senior Center and La Paz
Regional Hospital Gift Shop.

Beverly is survived by her children, whom she deeply loved. They
include sons Patrick R. Calligan (Tina) of Benicia, Calif.; Shawn M.
Calligan of Hibbing, Minn.; and Brian A. Calligan (Penn) of Discovery
Bay, Calif.; and daughter Erin R. Ward of Parker, Ariz.

She also adored her five beautiful grandchildren: Billy, Brian Jr.,
Angela, Tai and Blake.

Beverly was preceded in death by her loving husband, Casey Craig, in
2012.

She was loved and adored by all who knew her, and she will be dearly
missed by all.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
