I originally set this site up as a tribute to what my mom had painted and created. It is nice to know someone has enjoyed something here as well.

My mom LOVED your grandmother & her garden! She painted several pictures and still-life's from your grandmothers garden.; January 23, 2013 at 1:33 PM

Many of her works of art were displayed in the Springville Art Museum and the Utah Historical Society. Her art is scattered and hanging in homes and businesses across the USA.

Beverly was born in the mining town of Ophir, Utah. When she was a toddler, her family moved to Tooele, Utah.When she was 19 she married Jay L Dobson and they built their home on West Vine in Tooele. After WWII ended and Jay returned from serving in the Navy in the Pacific, they continued to live in Tooele until an opportunity surfaced at Sperry Rand and they moved their family to Centerville, Utah. Upon retirement, they relocated to Cache Valley where they lived until they died. Upon death, they returned to their beginnings - Tooele County. Beverly is buried in the Tooele City Cemetery.
