Beverly Theresa Lockridge a long time resident of Florida, most recently of Weeki Wachee, FL passed away on Sun, Jan 5, 2020.
Beverly was born in Grosse Point on Sep 11, 1934 to Frederick Herbert and Rita Gallant.
She was a graduate of Grosse Pointe HIgh School. On Apr 17, 1964.
She married Charles Lockridge. They relocated to Traverse City, in the early 80s before retiring to Florida in 1988. In 2019, they celebrated 55 years of marriage. They valued the family they built together above all else and cherished the time they could all spend together. She was surrounded in the love by her family when her final wish of going to heaven was granted.
Beverly's greatest joy was her four daughters (who she affectionately called her "sassy birds"), Rene Harrison of Sterling Heights, Julie (James) Catalina of Macomb County, Kelly (Ronnie) Cannon of Brooksville, FL, and her baby, Gail Lockridge of Traverse City.
She devoted her life to raising her girls and supporting them in all of their endeavors. She succeeded in not only being the best mom they could have asked for, but also becoming a treasured friend and confidante to each of them. Her home cooked meals, daily phone calls, and constant words of encouragement will be missed by her daughters.
In addition to her husband and daughters, she is also survived by her grandchildren, Lexi and Spencer Akey, Corrie, Sarah, Kristen, and Auston Cannon, Tony, Joe, Michael, and Niki Catalina, and Jodi, Christi, and Carlene Harrison; as well as many great grandchildren "sassy birds" too.
She was preceded in death by her brother, Wayne (Judy) Hebert in 2012.
A private service was held with family in Florida.
A small memorial is planned for summer 2020 where her family will fulfill Beverly's wish to have her ashes scattered on the Old Mission Peninsula.
