Beverley Ann (MacIntyre) van Diepen

It is with deep sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Beverley Ann van Diepen (nee MacIntyre) of Green Meadows, PEI, age 70.  The death occurred at Dr. John Gillis Memorial Lodge on November 23, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones.

Born on October 17, 1955, Beverley was a cherished wife, mother, oma, sister, and friend. She dedicated much of her life to her family, finding great joy in watching her children and grandchildren play sports, and in the simple pleasures of life - especially during the holiday season when Christmas time brought her immense happiness.  Beverley's warm spirit and love for her family were central to everything she did.  A career at Holland College allowed Beverley to touch many lives over the years, and her dedication for helping others made a lasting impact on those around her.  Beyond her love of family, Beverley had a passion for shopping, and was known for her sense of style and her generous heart.

Beverley leaves behind her beloved husband, Casey;  her five children,  Adam,  Steven (Colette), Tyler,  Spencer (Becky),  Emily (Sam);  and her six grandchildren, Landen, Nevaeh,  Elsie, Bodie, Louisa,  Riley, each of whom brought her endless joy.   She will also be dearly missed by her sisters, Karen (Ronnie) MacInnis and Maureen (Vance) Webster;  sisters and brothers-in-law  Johnny (Arlene) van Diepen,  Alida (Dennis) MacEwen, and Peter (Patty) van Diepen.   She is also survived by numerous friends and extended family members who will forever remember her kindness, her laugh, and the way she always made others feel special.  Beverley was predeceased by her parents Cyrine and Kathleen MacIntyre, parents-in-law John and Louisa van Diepen, and sister-in-law Joanne (Joe) Gallant.

As she passed, Beverley was surrounded by her family, sharing stories and reminiscing about a life well lived.  Her memory will live on in our hearts forever.
