BEVERLY ANN TEETS
83, of Kingston, died peacefully Thursday, September 3, 2020 in her home. She was born December 21, 1936 in Saginaw to Clayton and Pearl (Enos) George. She married Evans Duane Teets on July 15, 1961 in Waukegan, IL.
Bev graduated from Vassar High School in 1955. She attended Michigan State University for three years, where she studied elementary education. Bev taught classes for the eighth grade in Snover Country School then worked as a rural mail carrier for eight years. Eventually, she became the U.S. Postmaster for the Village of Kingston, a position she held and worked for twenty-eight years. An active member of the Kingston United Methodist Church and with a deep appreciation of music, Bev was the church’s organist for over fifty years.
