Beverly Jean Thompson

We announce the passing of Beverly Jean Thompson, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. On June 22, 2025, at the age of 78, Beverly passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by family. We celebrate the life she lived and cherish her memory.

Beverly was born on April 16, 1947, in Spokane, Washington to Harold and Vivian Wiseman. She was raised on a small family farm by parents who taught her the importance of family bonds, and to care for plants and animals. After her parents both passed within three years of each other, Beverly moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. At the age of 17, she graduated from East High. She then attended and graduated from the University of Utah, with a degree in elementary education. She met Guy Wallace Thompson while working summers in Bryce Canyon National Park. Beverly and Guy were sealed for time and eternity on March 20, 1969 in the Salt Lake City temple.

Beverly’s life was one spent serving and giving of herself to others. In Beverly’s own words, “If life is worth living, then it is worth giving.” During their early family life, Guy and Beverly opened their home to over 40 children and youth for fostering and adoption. Her kitchen fed the neighborhood and the hungry, and every opportunity was taken to teach about life. Beverly’s faith and love for the gospel of Jesus Christ was evident in how lives changed around her.

Above all, Beverly loved and cherished her family. Her home was a gathering place for family dinners and summer reunions. She highly valued the education and integrity of her posterity and taught by example a strong work ethic. Beverly filled her life with love, and enjoyed baking, caring for her plants and pets, reading, and writing notes to those she loved.

Beverly Jean Thompson is survived by her husband of 56 years, Guy Wallace Thompson; her children Guy (Raquel) Thompson, Rachel (Garrett) Breit, Brook (Phoebe) Wiseman, Heather (Carlon) Johnson, Beverly Cecile Thompson, Heidi (Patrick) Ostler, Savannah (Aaron) Weech, Dixie Thompson; twenty grandchildren; six great grandchildren; and her siblings Donna (Ron) Pierce, Paul (Toni) Wiseman, and Paulette Wiseman.

Through this season of grief, we have faith and trust in God’s plan for eternal families. We find peace and comfort in the promise of resurrection, and we look forward to reuniting with Beverly.
