Beverley was an avid big-game hunter, fisherperson, excellent markswoman, camper, paddleboard rider, ocean surfboard rider, and horse enthusiast. She broke horses as a child in CA, helped out at the Copper Mountain Stable, and would climb aboard any horse that came her way, one of whom tossed her onto her head on a mountain trail. As a business manager, she was shrewd, ethical, encouraging, competent, and always handled her subordinates with respect and encouragement. Her smile lighted up all who encountered her.

Beverley loved all animals. She and her husband Steve Sutton raised and trained Labrador Retrievers and a Flat-Coated Retriever for field titles and hunting.
