Beverly Ann Lytle, 73, passed away Monday, June 10, 2013 at her home in Elkton. Beverly was born April 29, 1940 in Montevideo, MN to Arthur and Florence (Funk) Nyvold. Beverly attended kindergarten in Montevideo. The family moved to Conde, SD where she attended grades 1 through 12, graduating from high school in 1958. Following graduation from Aberdeen School of Commerce in 1959, Beverly worked for Flasco Body & Equipment in Aberdeen, SD until 1961. Beverly met and married John (Jack) Lytle on April 16, 1961 in Aberdeen, SD. Jack and Bev were blessed with 6 children during their marriage. Jack and Bev lived for a short time in both Britton, SD and Kadoka, SD before settling down in Elkton, SD in 1969. In 1973, Beverly went to work at what is now known as Cenex as a bookkeeper and remained there until 1981. In 1982, she went through the Midwest Coast truck-driving school and drove team with Jack until 1983. In 1984, she joined the team at Pamida in Brookings, SD and also worked part-time as a bookkeeper for Elkton Lumber. Eventually her job at Elkton Lumber transitioned into full-time.
