Beverly Ann Ford-Glencross, 77, of Emmaus, died Oct. 13, 2020, after a short illness. She was the wife of Peter Ford-Glencross, with whom she shared 48 years of marriage. Born in Allentown, she was the daughter of John and Anna (Miklencic) Hopko.

Always ready to share what she lovingly called her “pearls of wisdom,” she was a dedicated wife, mother and grandmother. She was an exceptionally skilled gardener, a force to be reckoned with in the kitchen and a nurturing and gentle soul who loved the company of animals, especially her late dog, Dakota.

She adored the month of May, holidays spent with family and reminiscing about sun-soaked memories of summers spent in Cape May, N.J. and a childhood growing up at Pinetree Park in Emmaus.

She is survived by her husband; a daughter, Kristin, son-in-law, James Green, of Falls Church, Va. and a granddaughter, Wren Eleanore; a sister, Cheryl (Hopko) Fretz; a brother John (Jack) Hopko; many cousins and family members. She was predeceased by a brother, Dennis.

Contributions may be made in her memory to St. Ann Church, Emmaus or Animals in Distress, Coopersburg.

A private family gathering and service will be held at a later date. Arrangements were made by the Bachman, Kulik & Reinsmith Funeral Homes, Emmaus.
