Introducing Muguette KL Biver

Kris

Muguette Kathern Lucy Biver Rovansek

August 30, 1922 – December 15, 2012
A lifelong traveler, loyal military wife, devoted mother, and proud daughter of France.

Welcome to the space where we remember Muguette, not just by the facts of her life, but through the stories that shaped her and the echoes she left behind.

Born in Phoebus, Virginia, to two French immigrants, Muguette grew up speaking French in a home where postmen delivered more than mail—they delivered dreams of opportunity. She married a soldier, raised children across states and oceans, and made homes from Japan to California, Colorado to Hawaii, and finally Arizona.

She was a woman who wore navy blue at her wedding, played golf in her golden years, and navigated the life of a military spouse with grace and grit. She knew how to pack a house, raise a family across military bases, and wave goodbye to ships and soldiers more times than most. And she did it all with resilience and style.

We’ve gathered the milestones of her life on her Family Page, but here is where we hope you will help fill in the quiet spaces between the lines.

Did you know her in Hawaii? Remember her on the golf course in Sun Lakes? Have a cherished story from one of those cross-country moves, or a moment of kindness she offered you?

Share your stories, your photos, your memories.

Let’s give her more than a headstone—let’s give her a legacy of laughter, remembrance, and shared history.

Feel free to leave a comment below. Your words become part of the thread that ties her story to those of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren—and to all of us who believe that every life deserves to be remembered well.

Thanks for coming,

~Kris

Introducing Viola Mildred Beyl

Kris

Featuring: Viola Mildred Beyl (1914–2000)

Pull up a chair and settle in—this page begins with Viola Mildred Beyl, though you may know her simply as Mildred. Born in 1914 to a bakery family in Indiana, she grew up with flour in the air, laughter in the kitchen, and a head full of curls.

She went on to become a Buchanan, a mother, a homemaker, and the heart of every room she entered. Her life stretched across nearly a century of change—but no matter where she lived (and oh, did she move!), Mildred left a trail of kindness, food, and unforgettable stories.

This space is part of an ongoing tribute to the Beyl family line, starting with Mildred and branching outward to include the many names and generations connected to hers.
