Bev passed away peacefully on September 19, 2020 in Victoria. She was born in Vancouver to Sidney and Ruth Cave and as a young girl her family settled in Victoria. She attended Monterey Elementary and Oak Bay High School.
Her husband of 66 years, Jim, predeceased her in 2013. She is remembered with love by her children, Donna (Bob), Ian and David; her granddaughters, Shannon and Kelly (Dale), her grandsons, Jordan (Steph), Drew, Scott (Tyler), Tim (Shanti), Robert and Will; her step-granddaughter Erin and her great grandchildren, Claire, Haley, Connor, Hank and Jack.
Bev was a very kind, generous, understated, perceptive lady with a wonderful sense of humour who enjoyed lunches with her friends (especially her annual February lunch with Mary to celebrate their birthdays), swimming, bridge, visits to Willows Beach with Jim and, most importantly, the many, many family celebrations and gatherings with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be dearly missed. The family will hold a private gathering to honour and celebrate Bev’s life.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Donna,
I can’t really say it better than Dianne and Pam have. Such fond memories of your mom and all of the neighbourhood moms while we were growing up on Sandowne and even when you moved out of the neighbourhood. Sorry for your loss.
Dear Donna
I am so sorry to hear of loss of your Mom. You were so attentive and very present for her when she was here at “Lakeside”
My sincere condolences to you and your family.
Sincerely

Dear Ian, Donna & David,
So sorry about your Mom. However, you must feel good that for the most part Bev had a wonderful life.
Hugs, Ingrid
Donna, So sorry to hear of your Mum’s passing. She was a sweetheart! I always enjoyed talking to Jim and Bev on the esplanade after my volunteer shift at the tea room. Distant hugs to you, a very good daughter!
Donna, Ian and David
We are thinking of you as you celebrate your Mom’s long life and all the happy family memories. We remember the simpler times of growing up in such a friendly neighbourhood on Sandowne Road. Your Mom’s passing brings an end to that era for all of the neighbourhood families of the nineteen fifties and beyond.
Heartfelt condolences, Al and Pam Teasdale
So sad to hear of your Mum’s passing. She was the last of the Sandowne Parents and an important part of our neighborhood memories. Likely it was her time to go, but she leaves a big space in your lives. Even now, 3 years after our Mum died, there are times I think about calling her up to chat. Take care. Dianne and Wayne
