Beverly J. Loock, 81,

Minot, formerly of

Parshall, passed away

Wednesday, May 4, 2022,

with her family at her

side, after a courageous

battle with cancer.

Beverly Joyce Hall was

born December 3, 1940, at

Elbowoods, ND, to Ed-

ward “Pem” and Ina

(Beauchamp) Hall. Bev’s

father died when she was

young. She attended

school at Lucky Mound

and in Benedict, ND

where her mother taught.

She was a cheerleader

while attending Parshall

high school where she

graduated in 1958.

On October 14, 1958,

Bev and Robert Loock

were married. Bob loving-

ly referred to Bev as

“Doll”. They made their

home in California for a

few years and then moved

back to North Dakota to

raise their family. They

were blessed with two

sons who both passed

away in infancy and three

daughters. Bob and Bev

welcomed and cared for

Bev’s mother, Ina, for

many years.

Bev was a hard worker.

She held a variety of jobs

throughout the years in-

cluding owning a drapery

company. She worked in

Land Management for the

BIA and as an aid at the

elementary school. During

the 1990s, they lived in

Fargo where she worked

as an administrative assis-

tant at NDSU for Minority

Student Affairs and Phar-

macy. When they re-

turned to Parshall, Bev

obtained her CDL and

drove the bus for Parshall

Headstart.

Bev was a strong advo-

cate for the community.

She was a member of the

United Church of Christ

in Parshall and the local

Jaycees; she also volun-

teered as a 4-H leader. Bev

was an excellent

homemaker and enjoyed

sewing and baking. Their

home was always open to

family and friends. She

was a keeper of her

family’s genealogy.

Bev cherished spending

time with her family. She

and Bob built three homes

together and enjoyed

sharing family time at

their Deep Water Bay ca-

bin. She was

health-conscious; she

remained active and prac-

ticed Yoga. She was very

involved in her

grandchildren’s lives and

was always their biggest

fan. Her kind smile and

loving heart have blessed

many and she will be tru-

ly missed.
