Beverly Westman, 79, formerly of the Minot area, died Sunday, November 1, 2026, at her daughter's home in Jamestown, ND.
Beverly Lynn (Krueger) Westman was born on October 30, 1947, in Minot, ND, to Reinholt Rudolph (Jack) and Genevieve (Lynch) Krueger; the second of two children. She spent most of her life in Sawyer, ND, where she later graduated from Sawyer High School in 1965. Many of her classmates remained lifelong friends over the years. She loved to attend school reunions, many of which she helped organize. She played an especially large role in planning the Class of 1965 50th year reunion.
Following high school, Beverly married Willard Westman on May 20th, 1966, at St. Peters Lutheran Church in Sawyer, where she was a lifelong member and taught Sunday school, bible school, and was a youth group leader.
After Willard passed in November 2012, Beverly moved to Jamestown, ND, to be near her daughter Lisa and son Evan. She moved into a new house with Lisa and Dan in 2015 and lived overlooking the Jamestown Reservoir for the last 11 years. She loved the company of three lap dogs: Merle, Millie and Jackson.
Bev is survived by her four children, Scott (Kristie Lemer) Westman, Velva, Lisa (Dan) Severson, Jamestown; Eric (Elizabeth) Westman, Minot, and Evan (Arion Murphy) Westman, Jamestown; nine grandchildren, Riley Westman, Ryan Lemer, Rebecca Feakes, Ryan Young, Allison Hanson, Alex Westman, Aaron Westman, Jacob Otto and Amanda Westman; seven great-grandchildren; brother, James (Sharon) Krueger, and sister, Carol (Denny) Redding.
She was preceded in death by her parents, and her husband, Willard Westman.
