Beverly Beckham Pope

POPE, Beverly Beckham

Beverly Beckham Pope, 62, passed away from breathing complications at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach on Tuesday, March 31. She is survived by her brother, Glenn Beckham, her daughter, Janie Pope and her son, John Pope.

Beverly, also known as Coach Pope, Officer Pope and Mama Pope, will be remembered for her warm, welcoming personality and generous, enriching contributions to the lives of the people she came to know. Bev was a mother first, as well as a long-time law enforcement officer, baseball coach, mentor, animal lover and Christ follower. While her health caused her great strife over the last several years, she remained her truest self: strong and full of hope. That is how she would want to be remembered.

A memorial service will take place Sunday, April 12 at 3pm at Roberts Funeral Home in Dunnellon, 19939 E. Pennsylvania Avenue. All who wish to celebrate Beverly's life are invited to attend.
