Beverly was born to Eunice (Payton) Logsdon and Delbert Logsdon in Valley Station, Kentucky on Feb 5, 1943. She met and married Jimmie Bass in Miami, FL in August of 1960. After their marriage they had four children and over the course of 25 years they moved from Miami to Smithfield, NC to Moore, Ok then to Riverton, WY. In Riverton, she worked at Al’s Gaslight and the Sundowner as a waitress, Kmart as a service desk manager and then entered Nursing School at CWC. After nursing school, she worked briefly at Riverton Memorial Hospital then decided to become a travel nurse. After several years of traveling, she ended up nursing in Nashville, TN until her medical retirement in June of 2000. She lived briefly in California with her daughter, Patsy, until 2002 when they returned to Riverton, WY.
Beverly’s family and friends have always been the most important thing in her life. She was a selfless person who always saw the best in everyone. She loved to talk to people and people loved to talk to her. Her greatest gift to her loved ones was spontaneity. She always ready to go somewhere and do something. It didn’t matter if she had only $10 in her pocket she would pile kids and friends in the car and off they would go. Her favorite things to do were reading, traveling, listening to bluegrass music and playing blackjack. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
