Beverly Hatten Aldous

Beverly Aldous 78, a devoted wife, grandmother, sister and friend, peacefully passed away on

April 15, 2026 leaving behind a legacy of love, service, and kindness.

Born and raised in Shelbyville Indiana, Beverly attended St. Joseph Catholic Schools and later

graduated from Shelbyville High School. The values she developed during her early years—

spirituality, community, and compassion—remained with her throughout her life.

Beverly dedicated over three decades of her professional life to Delta Air Lines, beginning her

career in 1966 and retiring in 2002. Her work reflected her reliability, warmth, and commitment

to serving others. After marrying Fred in 1993, she moved to Arizona where she spent the past 32

years of her life.

In retirement, she continued to give back through her involvement with several charitable

organizations, always finding ways to support those in need.

She embraced life’s joys with enthusiasm. Beverly loved playing golf with her husband Fred, her

friends and was an active member of her ladies league at Arizona Golf Resort. She also enjoyed

relaxing with a glass of Chardonnay and spending lively evenings playing bunko with her friends

creating moments filled with laughter and lasting friendships.

Above all, Beverly cherished her family. She loved her stepdaughter Rachael, loved and adored

her grandchildren Avery and Logan James, who were the light of her life and brought her

immense joy and happiness.

Beverly is preceded in death by her mother, Virginia Runnebohm Vrooman, and father Paul

Hatten.

She is survived by her loving and caring husband of 32 years, Fred Aldous; her sister, Barbara

Wiley (John Wiley); her stepdaughter, Rachael James; and her beloved grandchildren, Avery and

Logan James.

She is also survived by her nephew Steven Wiley, her nieces Sara Wiley, Susan Blosser.

Beverly will be remembered for her generous spirit, her unwavering love for her family, and the

joy she brought to all who knew her. Her legacy lives on in the hearts of those she touched.
