  • Beverly Bushman Young McCune age 91, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family.

    Beverly was born October 22, 1930 in Provo, Utah, to Bliss and Eva Bushman. As a child she lived in Salt Lake City, Utah, Pueblo, Colorado, as well as Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her family moved back to Salt Lake City when she was 17 years old. Beverly graduated from East High School.

    In her second year at the University of Utah, Beverly met Gaylen Young, who was the brother of her best friend, Mary Lou Young. They were married August 4, 1950 in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they raised six children. Beverly married Keith McCune on December 27, 1979. Keith had five children and together they loved and enjoyed these two wonderful families.

    At age 40, Beverly went to nursing school and became a Registered Nurse. She worked for 20 years for Evans, Evans and Evans Internal Medicine Office.

    Beverly was an incredible mother and grandmother. She loved serving her family, others and especially serving in her many church callings. Beverly had a remarkable gift of bringing light and love to everyone she met. She also had a great passion for family history and loved getting to know the ancestors she researched.

    Our sweet Mom was a woman of great courage and inner strength to all of us as she survived polio at age 4, COVID-19 at age 90 and she was the last of her siblings to pass on.

    We are so grateful for her example and legacy of faith and love for our Savior, Jesus Christ that she instilled in her children and grandchildren’s hearts.

    She is preceded in death by her husband Keith McCune and his son Mark McCune; Gaylen S. Young Jr. and their son Gaylen B. Young and wife Lori Young.

    She is survived by her children, Julie Bird, Susie Irwin, Janie (Shyrl) Clawson, Colleen (Ron) Price, Mary Lou (Mitch) McClellan and Keith’s children; Darcy (Steve) McBride, Sally (John) Hollingshead, Shannon (Lynn) Dallin, Midge (David) Baird, Mark (deceased) (Elizabeth) McCune.

    Funeral Services will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Friday, February 18, 2022, at the Cottonwood 4th Ward, 5565 S. Neighbor Lane, Holladay, Utah. A viewing will be held on Friday morning from 10:00-11:30 am prior to the services at the church.

    Guestbook/Condolences

    I will always remember Grandma McCune's calm voice and sweet demeanor. She could tell a great story and was so wise! She made the best pineapple cake and when we would visit on a Sunday she always had a delicious treat to share. She and Grandpa made a great team and I am sure their reunion was full of joy!!
