In Loving Memory of Beverly June Westman (Larsen)
June 7, 1931 – June 13, 2025

Beverly June Westman, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, and friend, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family. Born on June 7, 1931, Beverly lived a joyful and purpose-filled life rooted in love, service, and gratitude.

She married Harold Westman on June 27, 1954, and together they raised three children: Jeffery (Bobbi), Jennifer (Eric), and Tom (Anna). Beverly was a loving grandmother to Sheila (Wes), Tori (Mike), Gerald, and Thomas (Jessica). She was also a proud great-grandmother to: Kayla, Isaiah, Brooke, Logan, Sierra, and Jamison. Beverly earned her degree in education from Humboldt State University and went on to teach elementary school at Peninsula Union Elementary School in Samoa. After retirement she taught at Glen Paul School in Eureka. Her devotion to her students and passion for teaching left a lasting impact on generations of young learners in Humboldt County.

Beyond the classroom, Beverly was a dedicated community member who volunteered at St. Joseph Hospital in Eureka. She was also an avid horsewoman and active member of the Northern California Horsemen Association and the Back Country Horsemen Association Redwood Unit. Beverly’s deep love for horses led her to ride in the Reno Cattle Drive three times, take part in an Icelandic horse riding event, and enjoy countless other horseback adventures throughout her life with her daughter and friends. At an inspiring 82 years old, Beverly completed the Buffalo Round Up, becoming one of the oldest participants to do so.

Beverly and Harold shared a deep love for adventure, traveling across the United States in their camper, including unforgettable journeys through Canada and all the way up to Alaska.

A graveside service will be held for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Back Country Horseman of California Redwood Unit, bchredwoodunit@gmail.com or to a local charity of your choosing.

Harold and Beverly were deeply thankful for their life together with family and gave all glory to the Lord for His many blessings. The Westman family also wish to express heartfelt gratitude to the many neighbors and friends who have become like family over the years.

Sincerely, The Westman Family
