Beverly Ann Rohwer

Beverly Ann Henderson was born February 13, 1933 in Boone, Iowa to Loren and Marguerite (McLarnan) Henderson. She grew up in Boone where she attended Luther School, graduating in 1951. Beverly married Warren Rohwer on March 28, 1953 in Gray, Iowa, and to this union, four children were born: Rebecca Ann, Jeffrey Warren, Rodney Allen, and Randy Carsten. The family has made their home in the Millard area for many years. Beverly worked for many years in the Richman Gordman warehouse. She retired in 1995. She was an avid fan of the Chicago Bulls when Michael Jordan played, and the Lakers when he changed teams. Beverly enjoyed watching movies such as “Fast Five”, “Shooter”, and “The Last Samurai”. She always had a glass of iced tea, which she shared when the kids, grandkids, and great grandkids asked if they could have a drink (watch out for the floaters!). She loved to do laundry, and wouldn’t let anyone help fold the towels because she had a certain way she wanted them folded. One of her rules was, no one could sit on a made bed! When the family lived on the farm, she loved to mow in the summers. And when she moved to the new house in 2002, the kids had a hard time convincing her it was time to hire someone to do the mowing. Family was the most important thing to Beverly. She cherished the births of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and loved playing with the grandsons and great grandsons. Getting together for holidays and birthdays were always memorable. Beverly was so proud of her family, that, at the inspiration of her grandson, Kyle, she had the family name tattooed on the back of her neck at age 79. She will be greatly missed by all. Beverly passed away at her home in Omaha, surrounded by her family on Thursday, October 3, 2013 at the age of 80 years, 7 months, and 18 days. She was preceded in death by her husband Warren H. Rohwer, parents Loren and Marguerite Henderson, sisters: Vivian Olsen and Ruth Greco, and sister-in-law Julie Henderson.
