Beverlye was a vibrant, full-hearted mother and friend. She passed away peacefully in her home with family by her side on October 13. Beverlye came into this world on June 7, 1921, by parents Edward B. Cox and Rena M. McBride in Lafayette, Louisiana. They moved as a family to Houston where she lived most of her life.

She attended the Incarnate Word School of Nursing, earning her RN degree and practicing at St. Joseph Hospital. She met her husband, Dr. Lucian Bukowski, at the hospital, marrying in 1940. They were married for 57 years and had four children, Beverlye Ann, Lucian "Buck", Janet, and Lynn. She later married Frank Rea, whom she adored dancing and golfing with.

Known affectionately to many as "Momie", even outside the family, Beverlye lived a full life of 102 years. She was a devoted Catholic, avid golfer, and keen bridge player. She loved to entertain and enjoyed traveling, particularly with her three daughters. She cherished time in McQueeney, Texas among friends and family where she spent her final years.

Beverlye is survived and loved by her three daughters, Beverlye Mueller, Janet McDonald and husband Tim, and Lynn Carothers; eight grandchildren, Charles "Chaz" Mueller and wife Susan, Todd Mueller and wife Amy, Kipp Mueller and wife Kim, Lucian Bukowski, Dana Bukowski, Col. Shane McDonald and wife KaCee, Blair Hanosh and husband Aaron, Chelsey Hussey and husband Matthew; sixteen great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her husband's Lucian M. Bukowski MD and Frank Rea; son Lucian M. Bukowski, Jr. "Buck", sons-in-law Charles "Buzz" Mueller and John Carothers.

The family wishes to thank her many loving caregivers including Tina, Christina and Dee from Caring Senior Service, as well as the staff from Hope Hospice.

An informal gathering will be held on Saturday, October 21 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at her home in McQueeney, and a memorial service at St. Anne Catholic Church in Houston on Tuesday, October 24 at 1:00 p.m. followed by a reception.
