It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Beverly ‘Bo’ Baxter. She passed away peacefully on September 30, 2025, in Maple Ridge, BC, while being in the hearts and minds of her loved ones.

Bev was a special person with a distinctive joie de vivre. Her energy brought joy and laughter wherever her adventures led her. She was always caring in nature and made those she loved feel a part of her life. With her tough spirit and willingness to try new things, her communities were far reaching and diverse. Her ability to listen along with her comforting affect made the environment around her always feel like home. She was forgiving and her love was unconditional. Her spirit and joy will be with all of us forever.

She was a cherished sister to Karen (Dennis) & Debbie (Jim), a proud loving mother to Shannon (Nathan), Michael (Hillary) & Jonathan, a wonderful grandmother to Aubrey and a loving partner to Norman. She was always grateful for her family and extended it to all of their loved ones and friends.

Bev’s Celebration of Life will be held on October 19, 2025, at 1:00pm at the Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel, 11969 216th Street, Maple Ridge, BC. Followed by a reception. The service will be live streamed  for those who cannot attend in person. Please use the link below.

I am at a complete loss for words upon learning of Bev's passing. I met Bev many years ago and there aren't enough words to describe how wonderful a person and friend she was. She was always able to make any day better with her warm, happy personality. My sincerest heartfelt condolences go out to everyone who was a part of Bev's life. She will be dearly missed and never forgotten.

I met Bev when I started working at Alliance Concrete Pumps almost 20 years ago. We got along well andet up outside work but that faded after a while when she wasn't working there any longer. She was kind, fun to be with and had a real joy for life and trying new things. I was so shocked and sad to hear of her passing. Rest in peace Bev. You will be greatly missed.

Beverly and I worked at the Abbotsford Entertainment Center when Source Security was still there. She was easy to talk to and very kind and a friendly face.
You will be missed🙏😢.

I initially met Bev during our time at Eagle West in Abbotsford several years ago. Her kindness and supportiveness made a lasting impression. We developed a close friendship beyond our professional relationship, often attending various events together. My husband and I relocated, and we lost touch. The news of Bev's passing was profoundly shocking to me. Rest in peace, my friend.

I knew Bev for many years after helping her purchase her home at Waterstone. She seemed to love living at Waterstone and was an outspoken advocate for our community. She attended many events and will be missed. May you rest in peace Bev!
