Beverly Jo (Farber) Heim, 61, of Hoxie, Kansas, passed away on Thursday, December 8, 2022, at the Sheridan County Health Complex Long Term Care surrounded by her husband and three children.
Beverly was born July 8, 1961, to James Elbert and Rosa Lea (Trail) Farber in Hoxie, Kansas. She graduated from Hays High School in Hays, Kansas, in 1979, and entered the workforce. Beverly married her first husband, Mike, and welcomed their son Ryan in 1983. In 1986, she married Rick and in 1987 they welcomed their daughter Misty Dawn.
Beverly married Nick Heim on May 30, 1992, in Hoxie, Kansas and welcomed their son Mathew in 1994. Nick and Beverly raised their children in Hoxie, and enjoyed watching each of them participate in sports and school activities. While the kids were younger, Nick and Beverly loved hosting barbecues with close friends and family at their home. Beverly always enjoyed working within the community and connecting with those around her. Many remember her as a special education paraeducator and cook for the Hoxie School System, cashier at Reds, and cashier at Joslyn’s Food Center. Later in life, Beverly loved to spend her time doing crossword puzzles, coloring books, lottery tickets, and drinking cherry Pepsi. More than anything, though, she enjoyed spending time with her family, her dog Lily, and her grandchildren. Most will remember Beverly for her loving smile, kind personality, willingness to help, her perfectly decorated Christmas tree, and her honesty.
