Beverly Ming Twist, 82

Beverly Ming Twist was born on July 12, 1940, in Glendive, Montana, to John and Mary (Bowles) Ming. She grew up the oldest of four siblings on a farm in Bloomfield, MT.

Beverly attended a one-room country school there in Bloomfield and graduated from the Dawson County High in 1957.

She attended College in St. Paul, Minnesota, where she was the center for St. Paul Bible College Women’s basketball team. Coach TeWinkle commented, “I remember her fondly as a person and as a good basketball player.” Beverly graduated from St. Paul Bible College in 1961 with a BA in biblical studies.

She met and married Earl Twist and had two boys, Tod and Donald, where they lived and grew up in Kalispell.
