Beverly L. (Smith) Angel, passed away on Sunday, May 9, 2021 at Ohio Living Mt. Pleasant. She was born and raised in Middletown, she graduated from Franklin High School in 1965 and went on to take night classes in finance at Miami University Middletown. She worked at Barnitz Bank, where she met her husband, Ken, and continued to work in the banking industry for the next 30 years.

As a child, Beverly was a competitive roller skater and won numerous awards. She had a passion for sports and loved spending her weekends at her children's ballgames, soccer games or swim meets. Beverly had an amazing sense of humor and had the ability to make anyone laugh. Despite her health struggles over the years, she kept an optimistic attitude about life and had the ability to lighten the mood in all situations. One line she always told her kids, "Keep smiling, everyone will wonder what you know that they don't."
