Ms. Beverly Crumble

January 8, 1962 - June 7, 2021

Beverly Denise Crumble was born January 8, 1962 at Hickman County Hospital in Clinton, Kentucky. Beverly was the tenth child in her family. Beverly was known as “Dee” the shortened version of her middle name Denise by most. Dee, spent her younger years growing up in Detroit, Michigan. Dee received her Associates from Lewis College of Business in ’82. Shortly thereafter, she relocated to Illinois. Next, she completed studies in Cosmetology in Chicago Heights, IL. Dee was employed at Trinity Services for many years, as an Independent Living Counselor. Dee’s duties consisted of but not limited to, assisting mentally and physically disabled clients within their homes. As an Independent Living Counselor, Dee made sure that her clients learned the necessary life skills to be independent such as cleaning his/her living spaces, preparing meals and assisted/issued medications as prescribed by his/her physician(s). Dee cared for her clients just as she did for her own children. Dee loved her responsibilities and position! Dee also volunteered for many years as a Poll Worker for the Village of University Park during elections. Dee had a “giving spirit” which she inherited from her mother. Dee provided shelter for many troubled youth within the neighborhood. Dee often provided shelter as well for women and their children who were in domestic dispute situations within their homes for safety. In 1990, after giving birth to her second son, Dee developed a debilitating illness. Dee was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Dee continued with the help of her “village” to live independently however, her MS progression became too much which caused a need for 24/7 around the clock care. In 2008, Dee became a resident of Beecher Manor until her passing on June 6, 2021.       Our family has been so blessed to have had “Dee” as a devoted mother and grandmother during our lifetime. We would like to take this moment to thank you all for your sympathy at this time of our bereavement. For all the acts of kindness, we appreciate it during our time of grief. We would like to give an extra special thanks to “Aunt Carol” for being there always.
