It is with great sadness and broken hearts that Bev passed away on August 16, 2026, after enduring a very fast and aggressive battle with cancer. Dearly loved partner of Nick Reddington. Loving mother of Tania Keen, Jason and Paula Keen. Grandmother to Stephanie (deceased and Monique Keen and Toby Gibson, Abbey and Milly Keen. Older sister to Gavin Nicoll (deceased), Rozanne Hogg, Brent and Lynette Nicoll. Aunty to Hayden and Corey Nicoll (both deceased), Talai Hogg, Sarah-Lene and Brad Nauck.

Bev was a beautiful, kind person with a playful nature and the brightest of smiles.

Bev will be deeply missed,

Bev's wishes were to slip quietly away with no fuss. A Private Cremation has been held. Thank you to the staff at Glenwood Home. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Cancer Society.
