Cherished wife and best friend of Hugh MacDonald for 71 years.
Bev was the family matriarch and felt family was the most important trait a person could have. She loved babies and playing with small children. She was a master quilter giving quilt gifts for weddings and to those family members attending college or universities and for new babies. She helped her husband by doing the books for MacDonald’s Garage, Teeswater for 50 years. She loved to play all card games and was the family card shark.
