A Daughter, Sister, and Devoted Mother

Beverly Jean de Lege, born on March 22, 1958, in Vallejo, California, was the youngest of three siblings to Robert and Virginia Crickmore.

Beverly’s family held a special place in her heart. She was a loving mother to her sons, John (Cassandra) White of Greenwell Springs, LA, and Nicholas (Brie Tilman, son Carter) de Lege of Coquille, OR. Her grandchildren, Morgan and Michael White, brought immense joy to her life.

In 2000, Beverly made a career transition and joined the City of Vacaville as Maintenance Supervisor in the I.C.E department. With her leadership and dedication, she supervised up to twenty-four direct reports, ensuring the smooth operations of the department.
Beverly retired in August 2015, eager to embark on a new chapter in her life, filled with family, travel, and hobbies.
