Beverly, 86, passed away peacefully in Spokane on Good Friday, March 30, 2018, following several months of illness.

Beverly was a longtime employee of Boundary County School District #101, a founding member of the Bonners Ferry Community Orchestra, a member of the Bonners Ferry PEO Chapter, and participated in the United Methodist Church. In her retirement, Beverly was a very active member of the St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral in Spokane, an avid knitter and gardener, and enjoyed reading extensively on many subjects, especially archeology, history, and religion.

When living in Bonners Ferry, Beverly was married to Dr. Frank Coram, who had a family medical practice in Bonners Ferry from 1958 to 1979. Together they had five children: Wendy, Walter, Valerie, Tara, and Thad. Beverly and Frank later divorced and both eventually remarried. Dr. Coram passed away in 2015.

Beverly is survived by her five children, 10 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
