She was a retired bookkeeper. She never met a stranger. She was an adventurous soul: boating, fishing, and traveling the world. When her children were young, she was always volunteering for school and band activities. She was a Girl Scout Leader in the 70s. She was a member of the Women's Club in Charleston for many years. She survived the Great Coal River Canoe Race twice.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William Fletcher Conley; her father and mother, Rex and Mabyn DeWeese; her sister, Wilma Seckman Blauvelt; and her son-in-law, Stephen L. Rinehart.

Those surviving include her daughters: Laura A. Conley-Rinehart, Linda Corrado, Lisa C. Jones (Chris); siblings: Arlena Shields (Jim), Judy Tucker (Ron), Joyce Sue Blauvelt, Clarence DeWeese (Trish), Ricky DeWeese (Vickie), Jill Metz (Roger), Ronnie DeWeese (Rhonda), David DeWeese (Flisha); and many cousins, nieces, nephews.

A celebration of Berdeal's life will be held at a later date in Calhoun County.
