Beverly Ann Howe, 78, of St. Peter, Minnesota, formerly of Dexter, Minnesota, died at her home on Friday, Nov. 2, 2018.

Beverly was born on Dec. 5, 1939, at home on the family farm in rural Dexter to Raymond and Barbara (Hayle) Howe.

Over the years, she resided in Rochester, Minnesota, Moose Lake, Minnesota, and St. Peter. In 1997, she moved to a group home in St. Peter, where she lived for the last 21 years and had many close friendships. She worked at ABC in Rochester and later Valley Enterprises in St. Peter until her retirement.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Barbara Howe; brothers, Bud, Chuck and Stanley Howe; sister, Virginia Ridgeway; nephews, Keith and Bryce Howe; nieces, Sara Curran and Sheila Howe; and great niece, Tanya Howe.

Beverly is survived by her brother, Lawrence (Martha) Howe, Rochester; sister, Betty Monnier, Austin, Minnesota; several nieces and nephews, including two special nieces, Karen and Rhonda, who have been very supportive over the years; housemates, Dean, Persy and Kaylee; and her very special caregiver, Julie Bluhm.
