Beverly Sanchez

Funeral service for Beverly Sanchez will be held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, March 8, 2023 at Walker Funeral Home with interment to follow at Mt. Pisgah Cemetery. On February 26, 2023, Bev Sanchez, at age 64, departed this world and entered into heaven. She was born Beverly Jean on May 24, 1958 in La Crosse, WI to Harold and Joan (Mauss) Welper, joining her older brother Gary. She spent most of her young life in Waukon, IA, before moving to Gillette in the mid 70’s with her family. Gillette is where she remained for the rest of her life.  Bev had three daughters, Beth, Julie and Jody, and one son Cristian whom she loved dearly and devoted her life to raising the children mostly as a single parent. From her kids, she was blessed with six grandchildren, and that is where Bev truly shined. Her grandkids were her utmost priority in the later part of her life, often times she’d argue with the parents that her grandkids could do no wrong. She’d love to take her grandkids on the weekends and keep them until Sunday night, spoiling them rotten. Even after losing her leg therefore, her ability to drive, her grandkids would often go to grandmas to play cards with her, take her shopping or just sit and talk for hours. Bev spent her life working as a caregiver in one form or another. She was a CNA for many years before starting to work with disabled adults before being forced into early retirement due to her health. Bev fought a long time through several health battles, amputations and grief one woman should never have to endure before finally leaving this earth following a brief illness. She was welcomed into heaven by her father, Harold, daughters Jody and Beth, brother Gary and husband Ramon, along with lots of other family and friends. She leaves behind several heartbroken loved ones, including her mother Joan, daughter Julie (Gabe), son Cristian, son-in-law, Jose Aguilar and her six grand babies, Evan, Landon, Mason and Gabby Koerper and Dom and Izzy Aguilar, sister-in-law Nancy, and nephews Michael (Nancy), Robert (Derek) and Brian (Amber) Welper. Along with several other loved ones who will miss her terribly. Memorials and condolences may be sent in care of Gillette Memorial Chapel 210 West 5^th Street, Gillette, WY 82716.
