Beverly Mae Cope, 76, of Idaho Falls, passed away October 15, 2026, at Teton Healthcare of Cascadia.

Beverly was born January 10, 1950, in Blackfoot, Idaho, to Paul Virgil Jacobson and Renay Jeanette Williams Jacobson. She grew up and attended schools in Moreland, Idaho, and graduated from Blackfoot High School in 1967. She also attended Idaho State University.

On June 24, 1972, she married Alvin Dale Cope in Moreland, Idaho. Beverly and Alvin built their home near Idaho Falls along the Snake River. They were animal lovers who shared their home with many dogs during their life together and cherished them as family.

Beverly worked as a Dental Laboratory Technician for most of her career. She was very skilled at her trade and made beautiful custom porcelain crowns that were life changing for many people.

She was also a gifted antique collector who was greatly admired by her peers for her expertise in identifying and restoring antiques of all kinds. She enjoyed arts and crafts, making porcelain dolls, and embroidery.

Beverly was a Good Samaritan who loved helping a stranger in need, providing moral support to friends and family, and showing compassion to those around her. She made the world a better place.

Beverly is survived by her sister, Marsha Mellem of CA; and four sisters-in-law, Janice Hendricks of Idaho Falls ID, Colleen Sargent of Ammon, ID, Wendy Top of St. George, UT and Nancy Cope Kraft of Idaho Falls, ID.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Alvin Dale Cope; parents, Paul and Renay Jacobson; and her brothers, Paul Jacobson, and Larry Duncan.

Beverly and Alvin’s ashes will be scattered together in a high mountain meadow near Salmon, ID next summer when the wildflowers are in bloom.
