Beverly A. Zahl, 72

Beverly Ann (Williams) Zahl, 72, of North Platte, passed away May 5, 2021 at her home. She was born November 11, 1948 to Lloyd and Julia (Borszich) Williams in Valentine.

Bev grew up in Crookston and attended Valentine High School until her junior year. She then went to Lincoln Northeast High School and graduated in 1967. After graduating she moved back to Valentine where she began her career in dental assisting. Bev retired in 2015 after working 45+ years. She loved her job, co-workers, and patients.

On November 26, 1971, in Crookston, Bev married the love of her life, John Zahl. They lived out on the ranch in Wood Lake until they moved to North Platte in 1972. To this union two children were born, Justin and Julie.

Bev was truly one in a million. She loved everybody and didn’t think of anyone as a stranger. She was a spunky woman who was always down to dance. Her smile was contagious and she loved spending time with her family. Bev put a lot of love into her cooking and everyone would say that she’s the best cook. She welcomed anyone into her home. When you would see Bev out and about, she would always be with her sister, Connie, who was her best friend. They were two peas in a pod. Bev was proud of her three grandchildren, Annah, Jace, and Cloe and loved to spend time with them.

Bev was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd Williams and Julia and Gordon Holbrook; two sisters, Carol Schwanz and Jean Bagwell; brother, Sunny Williams; niece, Carla Schwanz; mother-in-law, Vera Zahl; father-in-law, John Zahl.
