Beverly, lovingly called Nette, was born in Shreveport, Louisiana, on August 1, 1966, and transitioned on November 14, 2023. She was currently living in San Antonio with her daughter. Nette was known to be a very shy child and grew up to be very outgoing and outspoken in her adulthood. Nette has travelled all around the United States and made the most of life the best way she could. She loved her family and enjoyed spending time with family and friends most of all. She was a feisty woman with a big heart and loved to shop. There was no occasion where a new outfit wasn’t needed. Only a select few people were blessed to be able to see her silly side because she loved to make her loved ones laugh. Laughter always got her through any tough times. Nette could talk on the phone for hours with her grandkids, cousins and siblings.

She is preceded in death by her grandmother, Pearlie B. Flanagan; grandfather, Curtis Marsh; mother, Mary Alice Williams; father, James Peate, along with several other relatives over the years.

She leaves behind her daughter, Shalonda Patrice Williams; granddaughters, LaDaisha M’Che Williams and D’Naijah Aaliya Lashay Williams; grandsons, Michael Tyree Williams (Fiance Sobeida Silvas), JaCarius Williams (wife Serena Williams), and Ty Eric JaQuay Cobb; great-granddaughters, Anais Patrice Williams and Iyanna Jean Silvas; siblings, Brenda Faye Lowery (husband Reginald Lowery), Levy Darrell Williams (Girlfriend Tempest), Reginald Kimble Marsh (Wife Esmeralda Marsh) and Tameka Nichole Williams; and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins and friends to cherish her memory.
