Inscription/Marks: 6/4/1951
Summary: On July 19, 2025, Beverly Reutter, age 74, traded in her gardening skills and her coffee cup for a well earned seat at the big bingo table in the sky. Before she took that seat, she probably found Kenny to remind him who is really in charge and to catch up on ten years of pent-up “I told you so’s”. Her funeral was held July 24, 2025, at Evans Funeral Home, Carrington, ND. Burial was in the Pingree, ND, Cemetery. Beverly spent her years in full bloom, digging into life like she did her gardens, with passion, patience, and just enough sass to keep the weeds (and people) in check. She could catch a fish with more ease than most, knew the thrill of a bingo win like it was the lottery, and her day didn’t start until she finished her morning routine with smoke and a coffee in hand. The Diet Coke with a whisper of vodka was always on standby for when the day is done. Her honesty was unmatched, her hugs were healing, and her coffee? Always strong enough to revive the dead though we’re guessing even she’d admit that this one’s out of her hands. She leaves behind, Heidi, her closest daughter who served as her loyal (and sometimes reluctant) partner through all of life’s shenanigans, four adult grandkids, Amber, Sadie, Brodie, and Dylan, who inherited not only her love, but also her legendary spunk and complete lack of verbal filter (a trait she passed down with pride), and one great-grandson, Colt, whom she adored beyond measure. Beverly was preceded in death by her husband and favorite fishing partner, Kenny Reutter, who’s probably already been told to scoot over and make room, and if he would keep his line in the water instead of messing around, they would have caught the limit by now. She was also welcomed by many other loved ones who passed before her, all of whom she missed dearly and spoke of often. We like to think there’s a full table up there now, stories being retold, and cups raised in her honor.
