Beverly Sotiropoulos

Beverly (Myrick) Sotiropoulos, 83, went to be with the Lord and her late husband, Papa Nick, on August 13, 2018, at River Garden Hebrew Home. Beverly was born in Lanier, GA, as one of nine children to Melvin Lee Myrick and Frances K. Myrick. She married Nick Sotiropoulos in 1953. While Nick grew his career with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (U.S. HUD), Beverly stayed at home to care for their three children, Toula (Wootan), Denise (Gaitanzis), and Alex, while they lived in Nashville, Atlanta, and Port Harcourt, Nigeria, before settling in Jacksonville in 1973. Beverly loved and admired her husband and she was a devoted mother to her children and grandchildren.

Beverly was preceded in death by her parents, her loving husband, Nick, her brothers Melvin, Terry and A.C, sisters Mildred (Nelms), Betty (Gibbs), Dena (Carter), and grandson, Phil Wootan. She is survived by her daughters, Toula (Wootan) (husband Fred Haley) and Denise (Gaitanzis), her son, Alex, her sister Juanita (Hall) and brother Freddie Myrick, and her grandchildren Mark Wootan (wife Laura Wootan) and Christine Gaitanzis.
