Beret was born on February 25, 1958 in Wichita Falls, Texas. She was a creative soul and enjoyed art and theatre. This love blossomed into an artistic career. She was a florist, portrait artist, graphic designer, and avid arts and crafter. She loved animals and was never far from her Cocker Spaniels, Birds or Sugar Gliders.
On July 19, 1980, she married the love of her life, Bruce Gilbert, of Electra, Texas. Their love was based on God and sealed with laughter. Together they loved to travel, dance, ride rollercoasters, snow ski, water ski, and roller skate. She always said that the thing she loved about him most was that he made her laugh. They had 2 daughters, Kandace and Erica. She was a homemaker, Mom, and artist. She loved to paint portraits with pastels.
In 1992 they moved to Keller, TX, where her husband worked for Southwest Airlines. She loved history and wanted to see the world. Southwest broadened their opportunity for travel and in 2019 they made it to the last state of visiting all 50 states. Every vacation was always an adventure. She swam with dolphins and turtles in the ocean, walked on a live volcano, searched for all the Paul Bunyan statues in Minnesota, saw ice burgs in Alaska, hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, ate lobster on a dock in Maine, and rode bikes around Mackinac Island and Key West to name a few.
She loved her 3 Grandchildren and loved to teach them to bake and do arts and crafts. They often went to see movies together, and she looked forward to taking them on trips.
