Life-long residents of Seadrift, Joe and Mary Beaver, will be celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary this year! They are, also, life-long members of Seadrift’s First Baptist Church and have been blessed with five children, twenty grandchildren, fifty-two great grandchildren, and twenty-one great great grandchildren (with two on the way!)

We salute Joe’s service in the Navy. He served on the famous USS Midway! He, also, was a commercial fisherman. At one time he ran Captain Joe’s Seafood Shack Restaurant in Shiner, enjoyed doing fundraisers, and helping with Seadrift’s Baptist Church’s food pantry. He even played Santa and “Bingo Man” at the local nursing home. Joe was a man of many talents!

Mary Beaver was very talented as well. She crocheted dresses for toys for the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes, for toys for homeless inner city children, and for teddy bears for the police to give to children.

Mary worked as a deckhand on their boat. She went to nursing school after getting her GED at the age of fifty and proudly became an LVN. She worked at the Port Lavaca Nursing and Rehab until she retired.

Mary loves to read and would spend hours reading to her children when they were little. She loves to read her Bible and still reads from it every night before going to bed.

We celebrate Joe and Mary’s contributions to so many people and wish them a very blessed new year and a happy up and coming seventieth anniversary
