Beverly Jeanene Branscom, 88, passed away November 10, 2020, at Hospice House, Hutchinson.  She was born September 7, 1932, at The Salvation Army Hospital in Wichita.

Beverly was a 1950 graduate of Turon High School.  During the Christmas season, Beverly helped with the gift distribution at The Salvation Army.  She delivered meals for Meals on Wheels and was a former shareholder in Hilltop Manor, Inc., in Cunningham.  Beverly attended various athletic events at Hutchinson Community College, was an avid supporter of the Blue Dragons, and a member of the college's Quarterback Club.  She was a member of the South Hutchinson United Methodist Church, and was a tireless 'pie maker' at the church's Kansas State Fair cafeteria.

She enjoyed working and volunteering, but her most precious moments were when she was supporting the activities of her family.  She, along with her husband, Dean, could be seen sitting in the bleachers cheering on their grandkids and great-grandkids at just about every game or activity.  She was proud to be their '#1 fan'.

On October 8, 1950, Beverly married Gilbert Dean Branscom, in Turon.  They shared over 70 years of marriage.

She is survived by:  husband, Dean Branscom of Hutchinson; children, Allen Branscom of South Hutchinson, and Kathy (Scott) Hamilton of Turon; grandchildren, Casey Stiggins, Jennifer Shingleton, Allison (Jordan) Marshall, Katie Hamilton, and Conor Hamilton; and great-grandchildren, Skylar Shingleton, Clayton Shingleton, Grace Marshall, and Cooper Marshall.

Beverly was preceded in death by:  her parents, Virginia and Dockie Gray; and a daughter, Shirley Stiggins.
