Beverly Wilson Retires Following
40+ Years at Catholic Charities

Longtime Catholic Charities employee Beverly Wilson retired this past summer following a 40-plus year career with the agency.

Beverly began her career with Catholic Charities by volunteering with numerous volunteer boards. She later was part of a team that helped launch an in-house program to track clients and donor events across programs, which led to the establishment of the Planning and Evaluation department. In 2022, Beverly joined the Development department.

“I enjoyed everything I did for 40 years. The mission, the clients, and the staff were all such a privilege to work with. It was a blessing for which I will be forever grateful,” Beverly said.

Beverly and Barrett, her husband of 57 years, plan on spending retirement enjoying time with friends and family, including seven grandchildren.
