Beverly June Threadgill passed away Nov. 8 at Harney District Hospital. Beverly June Sevey was born Jan. 30, 1940, at Holy Rosary Hospital in Ontario to Harold Frank and Nell (Whitley) Sevey.

On June 19, 1961, Beverly married the love of her life, Ronald Threadgill, becoming a wife, and a mother to Ronny, Ron's son. They soon added to the family, with Don in 1962, Gereldine "DeDe" in 1963, Gary in 1964, and Jon in 1965. Beverly worked at Boeing until her retirement in 2002. Beverly loved her family and had a deep faith in God. She also loved volunteering at the Harney County Senior Center until her health no longer allowed it.
