Beverly Lucile (Buck) Andrews was born in Beatrice, Nebraska to Loyal and Helen Buck on January 25th, 1929. She passed away on August 9th, 2023 at Goldcrest Assisted Living in Adams, Nebraska.

“Bev” grew up on a farm northeast of Beatrice. She was baptized on April 5, 1936. Bev attended school at Mumford School District #39 and graduated from Beatrice High School in 1947. Bev was united in marriage to James (Jim) Andrews on May 20, 1950. To this union brought three sons; Dennis, Kim, and Bruce. Bev and Jim raised their sons in Wymore, Nebraska and were well known for owning the greenhouse. Working at Dempsters, TO Haas Tires, Blue Bonnet Café, Koons Auto, and Wymore Medical, she was no stranger to hard work. Bev was an active member of Blue Springs United Methodist Church. Spending many hours quilting, preparing for the annual bizarre, and volunteering her time to help with events with the Willing Workers and Willing Helpers groups. She was heavily involved with community improvement groups including the Wymore Chamber of Commerce, Wymore BPW Club, and Southern Gage Community Pride Group. Bev was also a member of the Wymore American Legion Auxiliary since 1959.

Bev loved to travel. Taking countless bus trips near and far and even a Hawaiian cruise in her retirement. She was known for her love of Elvis, which she admitted at her 90th birthday she didn’t love him quite as much as led on. Bev did, however, have so much love for her family. Bev enjoyed watching her grandkids grow and with each great grandchild, her heart grew fuller. She recently said that one of her grandsons called her and told her he had some news, and with a smile on her face, she said “I know what these calls mean, let me guess - you are expecting!”
