Beverly Jean Pluid

Beverly passed away in Casper, WY, the morning of January 6th after a long battle with MS and dementia. She was born July 30, 1948, in Livingston, Montana, to Wes and Mary (Kuhar) Miller. 

She spent her younger years in Livingston growing up in a home her father built for his family. Prior to graduating high school, they moved to Wenatchee, Washington, where she finished her education. Shortly after graduation, she decided to attend cosmetology school. 

She married Charles (Chuck) Pluid, had 2 sons, and raised their family in Belgrade, Montana. Her and Chuck were married for 50 years prior to his passing in 2021. 

Bev managed a 7-11 convenience store (later Mini Mart) on the college campus of MSU for 10 years. She was well known by the locals for her sense of humor and quick wit. She always seemed to make her customers and staff laugh and smile, but nobody was safe from her jokes.  

Feeling the need for a change, she left Mini Mart and managed the Blue Basket Market until her health issues became a factor, and she retired. 

Bev loved nothing more than family. She treasured family get togethers, whether it was with her sisters during holidays and special events or if it was just watching her grandkids. 

She loved baking and cooking large meals, and you could always guarantee that she would have a sweet treat when you walked through the door.  

Bev had a great love of animals, big and small. She instilled that love of animals with her sons and her grandkids. There were always dogs, cats, and horses that she had.

In her alone time, she enjoyed reading. She shared her love of reading with her grandkids and always made sure to read to them.  

She was preceeded in death by her parents, Wes and Mary Miller; and husband, Charles Pluid. 

Bev is survived by her sons, Chad (Elizabeth Peralta) Pluid of Rock Springs, WY; Shawn (Gena) Pluid of Columbus, MT; sister, Bonnie (Ernie) Lee of Independence, OR; sister, Sharon Miller of Billings, MT; brother Don (Nancy) Miller of Kearns, UT; family, Gary (Charlotte), Quintin and Chayenna Pluid of Budel, Netherlands and her pride and joy, her grandchildren, Breanna (Tyler Frost) Pluid, Tynisha (Sam) Andrews, Devon (Jessica) Pedersen, Kaden Pluid, and several great grandchildren.
