The couple had two children together, Robert and Alexandra, while Bev also had a son with her first husband James.
“Bev was a dedicated parent, always making time to make a costume for plays or help out on a school camp,” the Brock family said.
“She dedicated her life to helping Peter’s racing career taking on multiple roles, all met with skill, smarts and purpose.
“Beverley was also involved with multiple charities earning her an Order of Australia in 2016.
“Over the last few years she focused her time and passion on The Skyline Foundation, Melbourne Rotary, public speaking and her ever–expanding family.
“She leaves behind her three children, seven cherished grandchildren and a host of loved ones she wrapped into her life as though they were her own.
“Her loss will be immense as her presence, wisdom and support can never be matched.”
Peter died aged 61 in 2006 when he crashed during a rally event in Western Australia.
Bev returned to the spotlight when she appeared in a Peter Brock documentary released in 2020.
