Adrian Diann Berghamer

Adrian Diann Berghamer, 48, of Bella Vista, passed away on December 8, 2025, at her home. She was born on May 2, 1977, in Riverside, California, to Daniel Thomas Berghamer and Evon Kathleen (Garren) Berghamer.

Adrian will be remembered as someone who lived by the motto "BE KIND." She had lived in Northwest Arkansas for eight years after moving from Winchester, California. She retired from the United States Navy in 2015 as a Chief Petty Officer, having traveled the globe in service to our country. Her favorite duty station was the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), and she loved being at sea, especially at sunset. She was active in the Bella Vista Bluebird Society and volunteered at women’s shelters and animal shelters. She loved birds and all other animals, especially her cats and dogs. Adrian was very artistic and creative, and enjoyed painting, drawing, designing women’s fashion, and a million other creative things. A good day for Adrian would start with time spent in nature and with her animals, and end with her creating in her arts and crafts studio.

Adrian was preceded in death by her grandparents, Norm and Madge Berghamer and Donald and Monica Garren.

Survivors include her parents; her stepmother, Shirlee Berghamer of Bella Vista; her husband of 15 years, Thomas Maxwell of Bella Vista; her brother, Kevin Berghamer, and his husband, Richard Hernandez, of Bella Vista; her sister, Lauren Soules of Texas; and her niece and nephew, Mattie and Matthew Soules.

Adrian’s remains will be laid to rest at the Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California.
