It is with profound sadness and deep gratitude for a life well lived that we share the passing of our beloved founding director, Marie Beaver.
Marie went home to be with the Lord on the morning of March 9, 2026, leaving behind a legacy that is impossible to measure. As the founding director of Rea of Hope, Marie devoted her life to helping women find freedom from addiction and discover a new life rooted in faith, dignity, and purpose. Through her vision, compassion, and unwavering belief that recovery was possible for every woman, thousands of lives have been transformed.
Marie was more than a founding director—she was a mentor, a mother figure, a teacher, and a friend to so many who walked through the doors of Rea of Hope. She had a rare gift for seeing the potential in people even when they could not see it themselves. Her faith guided every decision she made and every life she touched.
Because of Marie’s obedience to God’s calling, Rea of Hope became a place where women found healing, families were restored, and hope was reborn. Her legacy lives on in every woman who has found recovery, every child reunited with their mother, and every life changed.
We ask that you keep Marie’s family, friends and the entire Rea of Hope community in your prayers during this time.
Funeral arrangements and obituary information are included below.
Marie’s life was a testament to the power of faith, love, and service. We will honor her by continuing the work she so faithfully began.
“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
Celebrate the life of Helen Gibson-Beaver and join others in sharing memories, stories, and condolences.
