Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute
Beverly Coram of Kansas City, MO, passed away Saturday morning Sept. 8, 2012 at the age of 64. Beverly was born July 20, 1948 in Kansas City, Mo to Bernie Sr. and Betty Pennington. Beverly graduated from Grandview High School in 1966. Beverly worked for many years as a shirt presser at the Wash House in Raytown. Her favorite job was a claim consultant for VFW at The VA Medical Center in Kansas City. She helped many veterans while at that career and even after she retired. Beverly held all the offices in the VFW Aux. District 6, including District President in 1998-1999. She also held all offices in the MOCA Grand of Missouri including Grand President in 1991-1992. Beverly enjoyed doing many things, making crafts, watching the deer and hummingbirds and at the age of 63 she received her CCW. Her most recent enjoyment came from riding behind her husband on their trike. She collected anything red, white and blue, eagles, ladybugs and rocking horses.
She will be greatly missed by many. If she were with us today, Beverly would say her greatest accomplishment is her 2 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
Beverly is survived by the love of her life, husband of many years, Richard (RC) Coram, her daughter Cheri Nicholson, granddaughter Amanda Jackson and her husband Heath, grandson Chester (Chet) Nicholson, 2 great-grandsons, Hayden and Josiah Jackson, great-granddaughter Hayleigh Jackson, a sister Berna Hughes, a brother Bernie Pennington, Jr. and many nieces, nephews and many friends

We enjoyed working with Beverly during her time with the Ladies Auxiliary.
Our heartfelt prayers go out to you and you family.
Sorry to hear this terrible news. There never seems to be no rhyme or reason to the timing when someone departs this earth, But know that You & your family are in my thoughts
Bev was a wonderful person who loved helping others — especially veterans. She did much for our Ladies Auxiliary VFW and will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her. My deepest sympathy to her family.
Words can not express how I am feeling. Mama you were a WONDERFUL grandma and a great-grandma. I cherish so many memories of you that I will pass on to my kids.I love you so much!!!!
Bev was a high school classmate of mine. I’ll miss her not being at our 50th class reunion, four years from now. Bev was also very caring and helpful to me as a Vietnam Veteran. There should be more Bev’s in the world. My thoughts and sympathy are with her family.
Love you Beverly Bonnet, thanks for being like a gramma to me.
Beverly & I became friends trying to help veterans. I was amazed at her compassion for helping vets. Her generous heat helped many get benefits they might not have gotten otherwise. She came to TWA facilty in KC and our VFWPost 1668 just to meet & help veterans.
I will miss Bev very much.
Sorry to hear of Bev’s passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
