A daughter of the late Freeman Judson Vining, Sr. and the late Susie Gray Sellers Vining, she was born in Jacksonville, Florida on February 22, 1931. She married the love of her life, Robert “Don” Holt, on October 9th, 1953, and set a fine example of Christian marriage for 66 years until his passing on November 11, 2019. In addition to Don and her parents, she is preceded in death by a son, Timothy Jacques “Tim” Holt and her brothers, Freeman Judson Vining, Jr. and Rodney Lamar Vining. Beverlye was a proud American and worked as a telephone operator and was an active member at First Baptist Church, where she participated in many activities, and loved her Early Risers Sunday School Class. A southern lady of many talents, she enjoyed sewing for her family and friends. As well, making porcelain dolls by hand and ceramic crafts which she often gifted to family, neighbors and friends. Doing for others brought her great joy. However, her passions were following JESUS, and caring for and spending fun times with her family. Her family fondly remembers how she attended all of her children’s and grandchildren’s plethora of activities and events. Numerous softball, soccer and volleyball games, even playing alongside some of them.
