Beverly H. Weaver

     Beverly Hicks Weaver passed peacefully from this earth, surrounded by her loving family, on May 19, 2026, in Dover, Delaware. She entered this world in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 22, 1947, as one of the kindest souls, with a heart of gold. She always encouraged others and maintained a positive attitude no matter what she or her family was facing. Beverly was truly a cheerleader for everyone in her family.

     First and foremost, Beverly was a loving wife to her husband of 59 years. They shared a fairy-tale romance that began when Beverly was just 19 years old and Billy was 23 years old. She was the love of his life. They met at Lockheed Martin in Atlanta, GA and were married on January 20, 1967, in Mableton, Georgia.

     Beverly graduated from South Cobb High School in Austell, GA.  She began her higher education at the University of West Georgia. She completed a bachelor’s degree at the University of North Dakota and received a Master of Business Administration degree from the University of Tennessee. She graduated with honors for each of her degrees. Beverly was a lifelong learner who encouraged higher education for each of her children.

     Her husband entered the Air Force in 1966. Beverly raised two children, Jill and Bill Jr., while the family was stationed at multiple bases during her husband’s military career. She cared for two children under the age of one while her husband was stationed in Grand Forks, North Dakota, as a B-52 pilot. Despite the demands of being a mother and military spouse for 30 years, she continued her education.

     Beverly was a devoted civil service employee for 36 years. She began her service at the United States Air Force Academy as a military spouse and worked diligently in contract awarding and administration. While her beloved husband was stationed at Vance Air Force Base, Hickam Air Force Base, Hurlburt Field near Fort Walton Beach, and Robins Air Force Base, Beverly successfully maintained her career alongside military life. In 1998, she received the Secretary of the Air Force Award for Professional Contracting, which was presented to her at the Pentagon. She retired as Deputy of the Logistics 436th Squadron at Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware.

     She is survived by the love of her life of 59 years, Billy H. Weaver; her devoted daughter, Beverly Jill Maser (Karl Wilkerson) of Lewes, DE; and her devoted son, Billy Hugh Weaver Jr. (Heidi) of Tucson, AZ. Beverly loved her family more than anything. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren: Ashleigh Cole (Matthew), Austin Maser (Kaija), Abigayle Maser Fricke (Lt. Robert L. Fricke II), Noah Weaver, and Ian Weaver.

     Beverly was especially proud of her six great-granddaughters, affectionately known as her “Girl Squad”: Aubrey Oord-Maser, Gwendolyn (“Gwenie”) Cole, Penelope (“Poppy”) Cole, Georgia Grace Maser, Francesca (“Frankie”) Maser, and Scottie Fricke (“Scottie B”).

     She is also survived by her two loving sisters in Georgia, Gail Hicks and Debbie Greathouse (Eddie).

     She was preceded in death by her mother, Dorice L. Hicks; her father, Frank L. Hicks; her brother, Ronnie Hicks; and her sister, Dianne Flanagan.

     A Celebration of Life will be held at Pippin Funeral Home, 119 W. Camden-Wyoming Avenue, Wyoming, Delaware on May 28, 2026. Visitation will be from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., with the service beginning at 11:45 a.m. Following the service, the family will proceed to Delaware Veterans Memorial Cemetery, Millsboro, Delaware.

     Attire: Bright and cheerful.
