Beverly passed away peacefully on August 22, 2026, in Eureka, lovingly cared for by her son, Andrew Jason Tobler, his fiancée, Tar Smith, family and friends. Although those final days were difficult, they were also sacred. Beverly was cared for with dignity and tenderness and surrounded by people who loved her. She was never alone.

Beverly was born on January 21, 1954, in Chicago, Illinois, to Henry and Corneliue Jones.

In 1973, as a proud Viking, Beverly graduated from Edison High School. From there, her life journey would take her to Germany, El Paso, Texas and eventually back to Stockton, California, where she made her home and built a life filled with family, faith, friendship, music, hard work, and service.

Throughout her life, Beverly carried qualities that became hallmarks of who she was: faith, determination, perseverance, responsibility, and a willingness to work hard for the people and things she loved.

Beverly took great pride in her work. She was dependable, dedicated, and committed to doing her best. In 1992, she was recognized as an Outstanding Employee at O’Connor Woods, an honor that reflected the work ethic and dedication she brought to everything she did. Even as she approached retirement years later, the positive impact she had made through her work and relationships remained evident.

But while Beverly worked hard, she also knew how to enjoy life.

She loved praising the Lord. She loved church. She loved fellowship. She loved music. She loved singing. And she loved being around people—especially people who loved the Lord she served.

Beverly had a beautiful singing voice, and some of her most cherished memories included singing with the Clark Sisters and Dr. Mattie Moss Clark. She traveled throughout the country attending church events, gatherings, and fellowship opportunities. Wherever she went, she found something to celebrate—whether it was a song, a familiar face, a good conversation, or simply being surrounded by people she loved.

Her relationship with God was not simply something she talked about. Her faith was woven into the way she lived.

Church was home to Beverly. Her church family was important to her, and she faithfully served whenever she could. In 2015, Dr. Terrance Saffold recognized Beverly at Greater Maranatha Church of God in Christ for her labor of love and faithful support on the Deaconess Board.

That recognition represented something much deeper than an award. It reflected the heart of a woman who believed in serving God by serving others.

Beverly had a generous spirit. She had a way of making people feel welcome. She cared. She showed up. She encouraged. And even when life was difficult, she continued to carry a strength that was uniquely hers.

She was a daughter, sister, aunt, niece, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend.

And of all the roles she carried in this life, being a mother was one of the deepest places in her heart.

Beverly experienced the heartbreaking loss of her twin daughters at birth, as well as the unimaginable pain of losing her beloved son, Clinton Lee Tobler Jr., in 2021. His passing left a place in her heart that could never truly be filled. She carried his memory with her, and she loved him always.

She leaves behind her precious son, Andrew Jason Tobler, with whom she shared a lifelong bond of deep and enduring love. Jason was not only her son, but also her caregiver, protector, companion, and source of comfort. In her final chapter, Jason was there, he stood faithfully beside her, caring for her with love, dignity, and peace. Their unbreakable bond is a beautiful testament to a mother and son’s love—a love that death cannot take away.

In Beverly’s final days, her adored brothers Henry and Andrew Jones, family and friends traveled the Redwood Coast to say goodbye, hold her hand, pray with her, share memories, and simply be near her.

Our home became a place filled with love, prayer, gospel music with paper plates serving as tambourines, watching her church families on YouTube, laughter, stories, embraces, and precious memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Beverly fought through so much in this life. She was strong in her faith, strong in her heart, and strong in her spirit. And even when her body became tired, the faithful woman she was remained present.

Eventually, the time came for her to rest.

And while our hearts hurt because we wanted more time, we can find comfort in knowing that Beverly’s earthly suffering is over.

We can imagine her now in the presence of the Lord.

And perhaps, in that heavenly reunion, she is once again embracing her twins and her beloved son, Clinton. She is reunited with her parents, Henry and Corneliue, and with family and cherished friends who went before her.

No more pain.
No more weakness.
No more goodbyes.

Just peace.
Just rest.
Just the presence of God.

Beverly’s life leaves behind a legacy that cannot be measured by accomplishments alone. Her greatest legacy is found in the people she loved and the lives she touched.

Her faith was her foundation.
Her kindness was her ministry.
Her laughter was a gift.
Her strength was an example.
And her love was something people could feel.

She leaves behind her son, fiancee, and his family, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, her absolutely adored brothers Henry Jones and Andrew Jones and their families, extended family, church family, and countless friends who became family.

Each of you carries a piece of Beverly with you.

Some will remember her voice.
Some will remember her laugh.
Some will remember her songs.
Some will remember her strength.
Some will remember the way she showed up when she was needed.
And some will simply remember the feeling of being loved by her.

That is the beautiful thing about a life well lived: when a person leaves this earth, their love does not leave with them.

So today, we do not say goodbye to Beverly as though her story has ended.

We say thank you.

Thank you, Beverly, for the love you gave.
Thank you for the memories.
Thank you for your strength.
Thank you for your faith.
Thank you for the laughter, the music, the lessons, and the moments that will stay with us forever.

And now, Beverly, you can rest.

Your work here is finished.
Your earthly journey is complete.
You fought the good fight.
You kept the faith.

And now, you can be absent from the body and present with the Lord.

May your memory forever be a blessing to us all. May your life continue to speak through the people you loved. And may we carry your legacy forward with the same faith, love, strength, and compassion that you showed us.

Rest peacefully, Beverly.

Until we meet again.

With heartfelt gratitude, the family extends a special thank you to Skip and Jan Arnold, Judy Taylor, Nakiah Taylor, Maureen Yost, Providence Oncology, Hospice of Humboldt for the tender and compassionate care provided throughout Beverly’s final journey, and to Gobles Fortuna Mortuary for the care and excellent service shown to Beverly and our family.
