Beverly Jean Herring

I think of Mrs. Herring everytime I give a dinner party, because she taught me how to be a gracious host and set the table even for just my family and friend, because she told me everyone no matter who they were deserved to be treated special. She was a great inspiration in my life. I was a graduate of South Park High School class of 1979 and one year she invited our home economics class to her home for breakfast where she taught us to set the table and eat with manners and dignity, from that time on I decided that I wanted to entertain people and has been doing it professionally and socially every since not only do I thank her but my friends welcomed the knowledge. My only regret is that I did not continue to stay in touch with her because I know by now I would have grown to be one of the best hostesses in world. Thank you Mrs. Herring

Pat, Mike & Families,
So sorry to hear of the passing of Beverly. Such an elegant lady that I enjoyed spending several occasions with. Last time I saw her was at my Dad's (Carl Mac) funeral in Paris. My dad and Beverly enjoyed dancing so much whether it was in Paris or Beaumont. Please know that my family wishes you peace and wonderful memories of your mother.

Dear Pat and Mike,

I was very sad to hear the news about your mom. She was a lovely lady, a wonderful teacher, and a dear friend to my mom and our family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. With heartfelt sympathy, Laurie Helmke Jordan

All the lives that Beverly touched are richer because of knowing her. God will welcome her in heaven.

I am sorry for the loss of your mother. She was an amazing person and treated everyone around her with friendship and kindness. I know she was a very Spiritual Christian. I enjoyed visiting with her at church and seeing her in the choir at the Trinity Methodist Church.
She will be missed by many

Dear Pat and Mike,

Pat, Mike, and Family,
Ken & I send our thoughts, prayers, and love to you all. I know you will miss her, and so will we. Sorry we can't be there for you boys, but our love is with you all. May God be with you though this time of sorrow. Love to you both, Bill and Ken

She was my favorite teacher at South Park High School - was the only teacher that I felt that I had a special connection to, a true teacher that only wanted the best for her students. She kept up with me after my graduation in 1979 for a couple of years, we would go to lunch and talk on the phone periodically. She had and still has a very special place in my heart.
