She was the daughter of Max and Evelyn Metcalf. Beverly was raised and educated in Florence, Oregon and graduated from Siuslaw High School in May of 1952.

On August 6th, 1952, she married Lloyd Wayne Shortridge and they were married for 65 years.

A year after her husband’s death, she moved to Malad, Idaho to be closer to family.

Beverly loved staying at home and taking care of the house but mostly was an outdoor person. She was very talented in everything she touched, including her beautiful yard, garden, painting, ceramics, crocheting, and various other hobbies. Her favorite thing to do was to fish. Beverly and her husband always had a boat to go out fishing anywhere and anytime they could, which included the ocean and any lake or river. They always lived near the ocean or a lake.

Beverly is survived by her 3 children: Dr. Terry Shortridge, MD (Leslie), Randall Shortridge, Microbiologist, (Laura), and Susan Williams, Office Manager (Dan) and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband and sister and brother.

Beverly was very thankful for the loving care and support she received from the employees and staff at the Oneida County Long Term Care Facility.

She requested private family services.
