Beverly June Bittle was born on February 25, 1936 in Marion, Indiana to Paul R. Soultz and Edna E. Ault Soultz. On March 13, 2023, she went home to see her savior Jesus Christ and Loy, the love of her life, whom she married July 2, 1960.  From early in their marriage, they committed their lives to Christ. Bev spent the rest of her life serving the Lord and her family. 

Her family, church, restaurant customers, and the senior citizens of Cleburne County can tell you that Bev was best known as a wonderful cook. She worked for Cleburne County Aging for over 40 years.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
