Beverly Ann (Kubler) Zins was born May 23^rd, 1945 to Albert and Ann (Schlichenmayer) Kubler of Streeter ND. Bev had a brother John from (North Hollywood, CA) and a sister, Bonnie (of Bismarck ND). After growing up in Streeter; she went to Concordia College in Moorhead Minnesota. Bev also attended Bismarck Junior College in Bismarck ND. 

She married Jerome Michael Zins. They had one child, a son Jamie. Bev was blessed to have one granddaughter, Ava. Early in their marriage Bev and Jerry planted themselves on a quarter of land north of McKenzie ND. During that time, she was a faithful, committed, and loyal wife that helped her husband Jerry with their farm. Their focus was to expand Jerry’s cattle business. They started this on open ground, from nothing. They sold processed beef from cattle they raised, to a customer base, and by word of mouth. They raised their son Jamie on the farm. Bev and Jerry taught Jamie family values and how to work. Jamie was able to feed the cattle, make hay, and clean the weeds out of their shelterbelt which protected the family farm. 

After Jamie had his daughter Ava, Bev found a new joy in life and would always look forward to her time with Ava. She would entertain Ava when she was little by coloring with her, watching cartoons, and reading together. As Ava grew, they would spend time in the kitchen, running errands, and Ava would even help her Gramma bottle feed the baby calves. No matter what it was, Bev always found enjoyment with her only grandchild.

Bev endured numerous health challenges throughout her life. One of them being a terrible farming accident. It was a miracle that she survived. By God’s grace and strength, she was able to heal and eventually regain her strength back, as well as her independence. Bev also accrued a handful of infections through time, some of which could have been fatal,  including a bout with cancer. These were a couple more of life’s challenges that she endured and overcame. Despite Bev’s determination and will to live, all these events in her life, along with an aging body, made her too frail to overcome a massive stroke. Our creator lifted Bev’s soul up to heaven. We can only imagine the smile on her face, her happiness, and the peace she must now feel. 

Bev is survived by her husband, Jerome; son, Jamie; granddaughter, Ava and siblings John Kubler and Bonnie Kubler. 

She was preceded in death by her parents.
