Beverly Anne Buckley, of Newberry, went to be with the Lord Thursday January 26th, 2023 at E.T. York Hospice Care Center surrounded by her loved ones. Born July 1, 1971 and raised in Gainesville, Beverly grew up on the tung oil farm and cattle ranch operated by her grandfather and father. She loved horseback riding and won numerous ribbons at local horse shows with her mare, Lady Grey.
She loved country life and being outdoors, and especially going to the beach. Her son, Jarrod, recalls times when his mom would check him out of school and tell him they were going to the beach because she would say she really needed the sun and salt air. In later years she took pleasure watching her dogs, children, chickens, and grandchildren playing in the yard.
She worked locally at Meridian Health Services, and for Brice Development Group. More recently she helped her father and husband with their business, Buckley Irrigation.
She is survived by her husband, Bruce Ward; her sons, Michael (Marabeth) and Jarrod; grandsons, Sam and Ben; and brother, Ken (Carolyn).
In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to E.T. York Haven Hospice 4200 NW 90 Blvd, Gainesville, FL 32606 or Susan G. Komen 13770 Noel Road, Suite 801889, Dallas, TX 75380. Arrangements are under the care of MILAM FUNERAL AND CREMATION SERVICES www.milamfh.com.
