Beverly June Hepler

Beverly was born March 9, 1927, in Warren, Pa., the daughter of the late John O. Sr. and Cleao Hinckley Hanna.

She was a 1944 graduate of the Warren High School and attended the Syracuse University. Following college, Beverly worked for Sylvania, and then for her father at Hanna Motor Sales in Warren. She later was the co-owner of Hepler Step and Deck Co., co-owner of the Brookside Trailer Park, and co-owner of the Warren Apartments. She also owned and operated Beverly’s China and Gift Shop in downtown Russell and Warren. She was also once active in the Zonta Club and the First Church of God in Warren.

Beverly enjoyed the smaller churches, and more recently attended the former Bible Baptist Church of Warren. She was a woman who loved her family and the many friends she made.
