Beverly Leas Timberlin was born February 10, 1935 in Angola, Indiana to Lyle and Helen Leas. She grew up in Auburn, Indiana where she became a national baton twirling champion and received a scholarship to the University of Purdue to become a featured twirler. Beverly declined this opportunity to marry the love of her life, David Timberlin.
At the age of 19 Beverly was married and moved to Germany where David served in the U.S. Army. After returning to the United States, Beverly became the mother of two and eventually graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Special Education. In 1972 the family moved to Texas where Beverly built many wonderful friendships and enjoyed being involved with her children's activities. In 1981 David and Beverly moved to Arizona and began a new life not only as empty nesters, but as business owners of Cupps Industrial Supply.
Beverly loved to travel and visited every continent but enjoyed it most when the adventures were shared with friends. Beyond any accomplishment or experience in life, Beverly's greatest love was her family.
Beverly is survived by her two children, Doug (Ellen) Timberlin and Michelle Litchey; five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren; one sister, Natalie Klostermann, all of Phoenix, Arizona. She was preceded in death by her husband, David; a brother, Richard Leas; and her parents.
