Beverly Boswell, 68, of Silsbee passed away September 22, 2011, at her home surrounded by family and loved ones. Beverly was born December 2, 1942, in Neosho, Missouri to Morris and Roberta Small.
Beverly had lived in the Silsbee area since 1971. She and her mother owned and operated the Log Cabin Lounge for many years. She was a great seamstress and gardener, but her greatest joy was her horses.

She loved her plants and flowers and watching her hummingbirds.

Other than her parents, Beverly is preceded in death by her loving husband of thirty-nine years, George “G.W.” Boswell; son, Roy Kelley; and step-son, Rodger Boswell.
