She was born December 15, 1945 in Aledo, IL to William and Irene Johnson Rush.  Bev attended the Aledo schools and although she didn’t graduate from high school, it was her desire and passion that her children and grandchildren attend school and further their education.  She married William Morford and later married Tab Balmer Sr. March 29, 1974 in Quincy, IL.

Bev was employed at the Mercer County Nursing Home and Quinn’s Supermarket in Aledo.  She assisted the elderly in their homes.
