Beverly Ann Paiva

In Loving Memory of Beverly Ann Paiva-Graves

July 4th 1941 - August 12th 2026

Beverly Ann Paiva-Graves, age 85, was a loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was also the devoted widow of two dearly beloved husbands. Surrounded by a crowded room filled with family, Beverly peacefully entered the gates of Heaven on August 12, 2026.

Beverly was a custodial worker for TPS for more than 30 years. Alongside her career, she raised two children, Perry Graves (Ginger Graves), April Keller (Bob Keller), and her stepdaughter (Holly Paiva), who gave her the greatest gift of all-an abundant and beautiful family. Her family grew to include 8 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren, and 6 great-great-grandchildren. Whew! She was blessed beyond measure by the love of her family.

If anyone knew Beverly, they knew she would not want this to be a sad moment. Her favorite phrase was, "The great good Lord can take me anytime, I'm ready!" And when the time came, she was surrounded by the people she loved.

Beverly loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed sitting down to work on her puzzles while watching her favorite Hallmark channel, the series "Murders She Wrote". She loved the simple moments, the laughter, and most of all, being surrounded by the people who meant the most to her.

Beverly leaves behind a family who loved her deeply and friends who will miss her dearly-far too many to name, but each one carrying a special memory of her in their hearts.

On her behalf, we want to thank everyone who poured love and life into her, just as she so freely did for others.

Beverly lived life to the fullest. She loved to sing, even though she couldn't catch a single tune, and that was just another part of what made her so wonderfully Beverly.

Her laughter, her stories, her love, and her one-of-a-kind feisty personality will live on through the many lives she touched. Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing that Beverly is now at peace, reunited with those she loved and resting safely in the arms of Jesus.

Until we meet again, Beverly. You were loved beyond words, and you will be missed beyond measure.

For those who would like to attended her services, her visitation and funeral will be held on August 19, 2026, at the Walker Funeral Home, 5155 West Sylvania Ave, Toledo. Visitation will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., with the service beginning at 12 p.m. Interment will follow at Ottawa Hills Memorial Park.

May God bless you all 🙏
