Remembering Alice Yvonne Beverage

Our precious daughter, Alice Yvonne Beverage, age 5, of Caledonia, went to be with her Lord on Thursday, December 26, 2019. Alice was a loving and beautiful young girl. She was filled with energy and loved putting smiles on everyone's face. She enjoyed showing her little brother everything she knew. She will be greatly missed by her loving parents, Doug and Karen Beverage; little brother, Doug (Bubba); grandparents, Doug and Jackie Beverage, and Dale and Nancy Anderson; aunts and uncles, Margie Albano, Cheryl and Scott Riedel, and Heather Smith, Kurt and Johanna Anderson; numerous cousins and many special friends. Celebration of life will be held at 10:30 am on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at the Keystone Community Church, 655 Spaulding Ave. SE, Ada, with Rev. Bob Nienhuis officiating. In lieu of flowers, those who wish may make memorial contributions to the Keystone Kids Ministry. Family request in honor of Alice to wear pink or sparkles to her celebration. Family would like you to join them for lunch and fellowship directly following the service.

Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. Know that my girls were touched with great memories of Alice. Brooke was honored to babysit her and has great memories. Lidet enjoyed her smiley face, and loving personality, each Sunday in 3-5 yr old room. And Marie just loved to stop and talk to Alice about her sparkly shoes and pretty dresses and loves to play with Doug jr. Alice was an inspiration to my older girls. She will be truly missed. Know that we hold your family up in prayer. We pray for strength and comfort for your family moving forward. Thank you for sharing Alice with my girls. Love and hugs.
