Bev graduated from Milford High School in Connecticut in 1971 and attended college in Boston, Massachusetts and Dubuque, Iowa.

Bev's passions extended far beyond her work. She had an undeniable love for the outdoors and animals, especially her cherished dogs. Whether she was landscaping her yard, driving her tractor in the woods, or spending time splitting firewood, she found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Bev was also an enthusiastic seamstress, known for her skill and creativity. She will be remembered for her creative and witty sense of humor and she was well known for her crafty practical jokes.

On September 2, 1995, she married her beloved husband of 30 years, William "Chumley" Mershon, who survives. She also leaves behind two children, Geoffrey Godbout and Kristy Godbout, three step-children, Matthew Mershon, Meaghan Mershon and Michael Mershon; a granddaughter, Calla Godbout, and several step grandchildren; her three siblings, Cindy, Fred and Cliff; and her beloved dogs, Bonnie, Darby, Snoodle, and her four-legged shadows, Toby and Bitsy. She will be profoundly missed by her family, friends, and pets.
