If you knew Bev, you know she loved her family and friends fiercely. If you needed help, she did everything in her power to get you that help. Bev was the same way when it came to animal rescue. She and Bob’s home was known as the “Altig Zoo”, and everyone was welcome. Bev was well known for her baked goods. Whether it be her pies, apple dumplings, or other desserts.

Bev leaves behind to cherish her memory her husband of 67 years: Robert “Bob” Altig of Latham; her children: Sandra Dunlevy of Decatur, Brenda (Ralph) Deal of Latham, Allen (Sue) Altig of Warrensburg, Danny Altig of Latham, and James (Cindy) Altig of Latham. She is also survived by many grandchildren and great grandchildren, along with her sister: Joyce Dringenberg of Pekin, her brother: Gerald Hendricks of Bloomington, and a dear close family friend: Sue (Bruce) Lamb of Latham.

Bev was preceded in death by her parents, brother: Bobby Hendricks, and a son in law: Harold Dunlevy.

A visitation for Bev will be held on Tuesday, March 19th, 2024, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Mt. Pulaski. The burial will take place at Lake Bank Cemetery at a later date.
