Biography: Beverly ?Bev? or ?B? Sanford Eberle, 77, died unexpectedly in her home July 8, 2016. She was born December 7, 1938 to William Burdell Sanford and Mildred Young Sanford of Earle, Arkansas. Bev was a cheerleader and graduated from Little Rock Central High in 1956, attended the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. She was a lifelong member and past President of the 20th Century Club; on the Board of Runway for a Cause, and Special Events Coordinator for Sponsorship and Fundraising; a long time member of the Arkansas Legal Administrators Association; and retired Office Manager of Laser Law Firm for over 30 years. She was a leader and instrumental in the development, construction, and fundraising for the new Hope Lodge facility. Bev set an incredible example of being positive in the face of adversity. We should all continue to strive to BE LIKE B! Her strong spirit, determination for life, and her incredible love and devotion for her family and many friends was never ending. She will ALWAYS be remembered for her beautiful, sweet loving smile, and never tiring efforts for her many special projects in so many areas. She consistently gave of herself tirelessly and endlessly for others. Bev is survived by her loving and caring husband John Eberle; Daughters DeAnne Fogleman Thomas, Debbie Fogleman Williamson(Mark); Son John Fogleman III (Kilee); Stepson Brad Eberle (Diane); Stepdaughter Mandy Eberle; grandchildren, Baylor, Elizabeth and Annie Thomas; Hayden and Griffin Woodall; Kyle, Kennedy and Cody Fogleman; Brandon, Rebecca and Rachel Eberle; Parker and Patrick Scoggins. She was preceded in death by her parents and sister, Dorothy Lee Downs. A very special and sincere thank you to her fantastic team of physicians: Dr. Kent Westbrook, Dr. Lawrence Mendlesohn, and Dr. Scott Stern and to the many nurses, technicians and Staff of CARTI, Tanglewood Drug Store and UAMS. It is hard for words to express how their true compassion, friendship, and dedication made such a tremendous contribution and impact to Bev and her battle for a continuing quality of life! It did make a difference! Services will be at St. James United Methodist Church on Pleasant Valley Drive, Tuesday July 12, 2016 at 11:00am, a reception will follow at the church. Arrangements made by Ruebel Funeral Home (www.ruebelfuneralhome.com).

John, please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss of Bev. She was a remarkable woman. We met as freshmen at the U. of A., became good friends, went through junior tennis, and of course went through you. May God give you and all of her loved ones comfort in this difficult time.

Dear Deanne, Debbie, and Johnny,

Words cannot express my heartfelt sympathy I have for all of you following the loss of your mother. Your mom sure kept me in line during all my overnights at your house as kids. She always brought a smile to my face and laughter to my heart when we talked either about current things or reminiscing about our past. Heaven has gained another angel and I know my mom was there to greet her with a huge hug and kiss. Please know I feel the pain your are experiencing at this time. I am here for each of you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

All my love,
Muffin Campbell Smith

I worked under Bev at the Laser Firm for several years. When I broke my leg and was in a wheelchair, she would insist on pushing me in the office occasionally. She was always good to me as a person and as an employee. My prayers for God's peace and comfort are with you. She will be missed by many.

So sorry to hear of the passing of a very special, Southern Lady. Bev was one of the kindest and most giving person. I loved working with her at Pulaski Academy in the early year. May you all take comfort in knowing she is free of any pain. Your memories will ALWAYS be yours and can't be taken away from you.

Johnny, DeAnne and Debbie -

We are praying for each of you and your entire family. Please know that she touched so many people and was so very proud of each one of you.

Your sweet mother was a second Mom to me in our high school and college years. She always made me feel welcome and safe when we were over playing the piano, watching a Razorback game or just plain acting up. I always enjoyed visiting with her. . . she was so patient and kind.

Her wonderful outlook on life will be missed here, but she will make a lot of people smile up in heaven. God bless all of you.
