Grubbs and Michael Maeweathers Sr., where she was appointed and served as a Mother/Deaconess for many years. Beverley eventually left Mt. Carmel made an ultimate decision to support her eldest son, Jason in his ministry and become a faithful member of Lighthouse Missionary Baptist Church and years later she became a member of Gospel Fellowship where she continued to show her love for others and praised the Lord. Beverley was described by many as a “Virtuous Woman” and a woman after God’s heart.
