Beverly Imogene Till

Beverly Imogene Till, 84, passed away at home after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease on Aug 4, 2013. Beverly was born on March 18, 1929 in Pensacola, FL to her loving parents Arthur and Imogene Godwin. She grew up in Pensacola and married Paul Till on May 14, 1948 and was married for 64 years before Paul passed away on March 14, 2012. After marrying Paul at the tender age of 19, Beverly raised her two boys, Greg & Tony in the Myrtle Grove area. Growing up in Pensacola, Beverly was a long time member of Richards Memorial United Methodist Church. She also was an avid bowler and a league member for many years at Circle Bowling Lanes. While taking care of her boys, Beverly spent her younger years working at West Pensacola Bank where she retired as an assistant Vice President. After retirement she continued working with her son Greg in his construction business for another 20 years. Anyone that knew Beverly knew that in addition to her family, (especially her grandchildren), there were three things that she really loved; gospel music, her country, and the Atlanta Braves. She got her love of baseball from her dad and would travel on many bus trips to see them play. She also enjoyed attending many local gospel concerts. Beverly was easily entertained, easy going, soft spoken, and was well known for being a huge, loving enabler going as far as allowing her grandson to shave his high school football number in her hair and being talked into doing her granddaughters homework. In other words, she could always be found going along for the ride with whatever shenanigans were happening. Beverly could easily be spotted in any given crowd sporting the color pink, coffee or diet coke, and a smile. In her later life, Beverly began showing signs of Alzheimer’s with a slow deterioration over the last four years of her life. Her husband Paul took care of her up until the time of his death in 2012, then her son and daughter-in-law Greg and Cindy Till stepped in as her caretakers. Preceded in death; Husband Paul Till, her parents Arthur and Imogene Till, Brother JT Godwin, Sister Joy Averitt, Brother-in-law Larry Averitt, nephew L.M. Averitt Jr., and her unnamed baby sister. Survivors: Two sons Gregory E. Till (Cindy Till), Tony P. Till (Susan Till) Two brothers Creal Godwin (Lynell Godwin, Jack Godwin (Pat Godwin) Two grandchildren Nikki Hoffay (Don Hoffay), Sean Till (Melissa Till) Five great grandsons Jacob Trombino Till, Jackson Till, Owen Till, Gabriel Hoffay, and Skyler Hoffay Two great granddaughters Riley Grace Till and Amelia Grace Hoffay Many nieces & nephews Pallbearers: Sean Till, Don Hoffay, Jacob Trombino Till, Gordy Grellia, Scott Forster, Chad Edgar,Jody Edgar, and Tim Edgar Honorary pallbearers: Gabriel Hoffay and Jackson Till The Till family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Linda, Sharon, and Megan with Emerald Coast Hospice and Lee for their exceptional care.
