Beverly Jo Madison-DePierre

Beverly Jo Madison-DePierre, 64, of Paw Paw, passed away Saturday, July 18, 2026, at Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo.

She was born January 7, 1962, in Hammond, Indiana, the daughter of Kenneth Earl Madison and Dorothy Mae (Larrance) Madison.

Bev was an extrovert with an electric smile, contagious laugh, a heart of solid gold and an overall positive outlook on life itself. These few examples are some of the many extraordinary qualities anyone could easily grow to know and love about her. She thrived around loved ones and making new friends who felt like they've known each other for years. She had a positive outlook on everything and was always fun to be around. Bev loved to dance, talk on the phone with her friends and family, and spending time with her granddaughters, who were the center of her world and everything in between. Beverly was always one that would, selflessly, make sure that everyone was content in whatever context content meant to them. Beverly will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

She is survived by her two sons, Kirk Ryan (Audrey) DePierre and Zach DePierre; granddaughters, Kiah, Vierra and Georgia; brothers, Gary (Debra) Madison and Jeff (Lesa) Madison and sister, Vicki (Madison) Neqrete, many nieces and nephews and former spouse, Kirk Robert DePierre, to name a few, along with countless others.

Beverly was preceded in passing by her parents.

A celebration of life for Beverly will be planned for the near future where she will be laid to rest at Robinson Cemetery in Gobles.
