Beverly Pincock Anderson

Beverly Pincock Anderson could do it all and did! She was born in Sugar City, Idaho as the youngest of five children. After graduating from Brigham Young University in Education, she moved to California and started teaching in Long Beach. There she met Richard Anderson, the love of her life. They married soon after. Rich and Bev, moved to El Toro, California and stayed there for most of her married life. She adopted four children, Errin, Eric, Keri, and Jason. Each of her children married and had children giving her a current grand total of 16 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Staying at home to raise her children, she still managed to be very involved in her religion. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints her entire life. Over the years, she became the Stake Relief Society President and the Stake Young Women’s President and held every other calling in both of those auxiliaries. She ended up leading or teaching in most of her callings. She was a Gospel doctrine teacher for 6 years and loved it. She and Rich served in the temple twice a week for 15 years and happily served a mission to Kirtland, Ohio for the church. She always devoted herself to any calling she was given. As her children grew, she went back to work and taught sixth grade at La Madera Elementary school for over 20 years. Parents requested her because of her amazing ability to turn kids around and make them successful. Her students loved and remembered her. One student sent her a rose on her birthday for years. Somehow while teaching and doing everything else, she managed to earn her master’s degree as well! Despite her busy life, she did so much more. Living in Southern California, Beverly played Golde in Fiddler on the Roof, and Aunt Eller in Oklahoma! She wrote scripts and played the piano for several roadshows, organized talent shows, 4th and 24th of July shows, Christmas programs, and any other type of program that was needed. She had the unique talent of playing the piano by ear. If you could sing the melody, she could put a full accompaniment to it within a few lines and then transpose it to another key to suit your voice. Her talent did not stop there. She had a beautiful singing voice and was well known for singing “Mary’s Boychild”, and “Old Shep” on many occasions. She was known for her generosity. She shared her time and talents freely. Many friends and neighbors benefited from her cookie and pumpkin bread deliveries over the years. She cooked many meals for others and was often an anonymous benefactor to others in need. Beverly loved living the last 5 years of her life in St. George, Utah. She will be remembered and missed by those who loved her. The family would like to thank all who knew and loved her for their friendship and kind thoughts at this time. Services will be held on Monday, February 15, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on 200 W. Brigham Road, St. George, UT 84790. Services will be webcast.
