In Memory Of

Beverly E. Braut, age 86, of Helena

March 15, 1929 – July 30, 2015

Beverly Elaine Braut was born on March 15, 1929 to John and Frances Muffick. Bev grew up in East Helena. She attended grade school there and went to Helena High where she graduated in 1946.

In 1948 she married Zach Murfitt. They had two children, Sam Murfitt and Dianne Murfitt (now Beaman). Zach passed away in 1971.

In 1973 Bev married Art Braut of Miles City. Art had two children, Paul and Judy. Together Bev and Art have 4 children, 9 grand children, 18 great grandchildren and one great, great grandchild. As parents and grandparents, Art and Bev have been deeply impressed with their offspring as they developed and performed in a myriad of activities. Bev will not be forgotten by her kin. She sincerely loved them all.

In earlier times Bev bowled, played golf and travelled with her husband Art. Her death becomes a huge void in family life.

A graveside ceremony remembering Beverly will take place at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 16, 2015 at Forestvale Cemetery. A reception will follow in the social center of Anderson Stevenson Wilke Funeral Home.

    I am so sorry to hear about Bev. She was always so pleasant and had a smile on her face. I am so shocked, I just saw you both a couple of weeks ago at Dorothy’s memorial and I commented on how good she looked.

    You are all in my thoughts and prayers. With Deepest Sympathy ~ Carol

    Art, Sam, and Diane,
    I am so sorry for our loss. Aunt Bev was quite a gal. She always had a smile when she would greet us. I ran into Bev and Art coming out of the mall in Billings a couple years ago and had a quick visit. I will miss her sweet smile. I will be with you in spirit on Sunday. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
    Love you all
    Linda
