Bev sure lived her life with full energy & joy. She genuinely cared about so many people & showed it with her actions. We will miss the plant sharing, special painting projects; and of course her phenomenal Christmas Spirit which endeared so many, well beyond her own community.

Our condolences to Bev’s family and all those many friends who were lucky enough to be gifted by her friendship, including Jim and myself. For the past 15 years , Bev loved and walked my dogs, and helped us in innumerable ways , nothing was ever too much trouble. She was also a faithful and loving friend. We will miss her, and count the years we shared with Bev as precious gifts.

Bev’s Family: We extend our sincere condolences to you on the passing of Bev, we will miss her beautiful lite Christmas tree at Christmas time. It is very thoughtful and fitting way to say thank you to Bev to see the tree lite for a few evenings in her honour. It is very sad to loose a brother just a couple of weeks ago and now Bev has passed away also. Keep all the good memories of both in your hearts.

My heart felt sympathies to Audrey and family!
As a neighbour around the corner on st David street, Bev and I had many adventures walking the dogs, many chit chats, I teased her that she was the only person I knew that could garden in white shorts and not get dirty!! lol
I am so truly blessed that Bev touched my life in soo many ways!
I am sure she already is tidying up the Heavenly Gardens!
Her 🌲 will light my heart forever!💐

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Bev was a special person and I know how much she meant to so many people. My heart goes out to your family during this incredibly difficult time. Bev and I were childhood friends and grew up side by side and always maintained a friendship. The suddenness if her passing has left a hole in my heart that words can’t fill. She touched so many lives, her kindness, humor and the way she always showed up for others. Thank you for every memory, every smile, every moment. I will carry them with me forever.
Love your friend, Perky

I will miss my dear friend Bev…one of my bridesmaids from many years ago. I’ve known Bev since high school and we had so much fun ..going to the dances at the Pav in Goderich, and Bayfield , going on the odd gravel run and just generally hanging out. Loved her laugh! Last fun time we had was dancing .to the DelRays at the the Goderich Legion a couple of years. Rest in Peace my friend .

Bev was my neighbour across the road my entire life. She played a big part in my childhood, helping my parents raise me, the treats she brought, joining us puddle jumping, birthdays, bringing my parents wine for their anniversary and sharing a glass with me as I got older. She was great for advice and the lessons she brought, she’ll never be forgotten and always in our hearts.

It is with great sadness that we all say goodbye to Bev.

Dear family….I am sorry for your great loss. Bev Doll was indeed a doll who will go down in history as a gal who assisted greatly to make Goderich the wonderful town it is. She gave of herself in many ways. The lighting of her huge Christmas tree every year for many decades is one of her most popular tributes that her name will be forever connected with as it brought such joy, lightheartedness and hope. It was such a tribute to her this past year when that tree became lit once again in her honour. Enjoy your wings Bev… knowing you made such a positive difference while down here on the earth.

I played Baseball with Bev and we bowled together on the alley cats . She always was a helping hand and a smiling face may she be rewarded in her after life. RIP Bev
