Beverly Louise Klongland

Bev was a kind, strong and independent person. She made everyone feel special and always had such a beautiful smile. We will certainly miss Bev and sending love and prayers to her family. Sue and Mike Corcoran

So many wonderful memories of a special woman and her boys.

I worked for 9 years with Bev at Blackhawk Middle School when it was Gompers Middle School. Bev was outstanding at her job, taking on many more responsibilities than was usual for her position. She cared a lot about the kids and the teachers. Bev was also a great friend: warm and supportive and with a great sense of humor. I will always remember Bev with great affection.

I worked in Human Resources for the MMSD and communicated almost daily with Bev. She was always so helpful and efficient. It wasn't until I read her obituary that I realized I had another connection to Bev. Prior to my career at the MMSD, I worked for 15 years at the Madison Opportunity Center. There I worked with her brother, Jack. I loved that guy! So sweet.

Beverly was a cousin. Our dads were brothers. Bev and I spent a lot of time together right after Dick died. Even took a road trip to California with my parents. Great spirit!
