Beverly Herrin

May 15, 1958 - May 8, 2022

Beverly “Bev” Ann Herrin passed away on Sunday, May 8th, 2022. Beverly was born on May 15, 1958, in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Chalmos and Angela Herrin. She was a 1976 graduate of West Jones High School, where she lettered four years on the varsity basketball team. She went on to attend Jones County Junior College on a basketball scholarship, then transferred to the University of Mississippi, where she played softball. After earning her Bachelors and Masters degrees from Ole Miss, Beverly returned to Laurel to begin her career as an Algebra teacher and ladies basketball coach. She retired in 1994 after a long and loved career at Northeast Jones High School. Bev loved cheering on her Ole Miss Rebels and traveled to football, baseball, and basketball games as often as she could. She enjoyed writing athletic articles, with multiple pieces being published in various magazines and journals. She loved all animals, especially her beloved pets over the years, “The Colonel”, Eli, and Missi. She was preceded in death by her parents, Chalmos and Angela Herrin and brother, Ronnie Herrin. She is survived by her siblings, Randy Herrin, Beth Jones, and Becky Hollomon; nephews, Todd Herrin, Jason Herrin, Nathaniel Herrin, and Heath Hollomon; nieces, Stephanie Conliff, Brandi Van Fossen, Jessica Etheridge, and Haley Hollomon; and a host of great nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind beloved groups of lifelong friends and teammates as well as her softball group known as “Express”. Visitation will be held on Thursday, May 19th, at 10 a.m. at Memory Chapel Funeral Home in Laurel, Mississippi, followed by a Celebration of Life at 11 a.m. Honorary pallbearers will be Karen Wells, Gwen Magee, Jennifer Moore, Rita Herrington, Todd Herrin, and Jason Herrin. Bev was honored to be named one of the 2018 ARC Volunteers of the Year, and enjoyed documenting their events by taking pictures. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The ARC Southeast Mississippi Chapter to honor her volunteer work. To sign the online guest book, visit www.memorychapel.com.
