Beverly Charlene Scholten

Beverly C. Scholten, 76, of Columbia Missouri, left this life to go to her eternal home on Monday, January 10, 2022 with family by her side.  Beverly was born in Columbus, OH on July 12, 1945, daughter to the late George and Lucille Scholten. 

Beverly grew up in Hermann, Missouri and graduated high school from St. George class of 1963.  She furthered her education by attending Fontbonne University and shortly thereafter graduated from beauty school.  Beverly opened her first hair salon “The Beauty Bar” in Hermann prior to moving to Columbia in 1976.  She styled hair for over 40 years in Columbia at the following places: House Beautiful, Oak Towers (owner), Tropical Hair Salon, and Phillippe’s. She helped in the Library at Fairview and Midway Elementary schools on her days off and worked evenings at Midway Little General and Break Time in Columbia. 

She loved to spend most of her free time with granddaughters, Ava and Peyton. She enjoyed watching St. Louis Cardinals baseball and cheering on the Mizzou Tigers.  If she wasn’t rooting on the Tigers or Cardinals, you could find her relaxing with a book in her hand. 

She is survived by daughter Sara K. Scholten of Linn Creek, MO, son Jamie (Cat) Scholten, granddaughters, Ava and Peyton of Columbia, MO.  Siblings Nora Elaine Scholten of Salt Lake City, UT; Claudia (Bill) Walkenbach of Hermann, MO, Kevin (Vicki) Scholten of Wills Point, TX, Sue (Rick) Bradley of Fenton, MO, Cindy Jarvis of Horn Lake, MS, as well as 10 nephews and one niece, and many extended family members and friends.  Beverly is proceeded in death by her parents George and Lucille Scholten, infant brother George William Scholten, nephew Brian McGinnis, and brother-in-law Richard Jarvis.

Those of you who were lucky to have known her, knew she was one of a kind.  There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, March 12 at D. Rowe’s Restaurant Columbia, MO from 11-3:00pm.
