Beverly Ruth Kraemer, age 81, beloved mother to her three daughters, passed from this world to be with the Lord on Wednesday, June 12 after a short battle with cancer. Her final days were spent peacefully in Central Texas, surrounded by and cared for by her loving daughters.

Beverly was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1943 to Edwin and Georgie Belle Kraemer. She graduated from South San Antonio High School and obtained her degree in music from the University of Texas in Austin.  Beverly was very talented musically and devoted her life to God, her family and to music as a church pianist, organist, vocal soloist and choir director. Many people were touched by Beverly as she shared her musical gift in thousands of church services, weddings and funerals.

Beverly was a devoted mother to her three daughters. She sewed many beautiful clothes for her daughters and taught them many things, including the joy of music, how to cook, the love of arts and crafts, love for animals, and love for one another.

Known for her generous heart and determination, Beverly will be dearly missed by all who knew her. The family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life not the sadness of her passing. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edwin and Georgie Belle Kraemer, her two sisters, Eloise Monk and Carol Kelly, and is survived by her brother, David Kraemer, and her three daughters, Lorrie Schutt, Carrie White, and Rhondie White as well as 8 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren all who will never forget the love she brought to their lives.

A graveside service will be held at Cottonwood Baptist Cemetery in Lorena, Texas on Saturday, June 29th at 11AM near the final resting place of her family members that have gone before her.
