Beverly had reportedly been diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometrial cancer and was undergoing treatment prior to her passing.
Beverly's family had set up a GoFundMe page for the singer to raise money for her treatment. The page, titled "Beverly Mitchell Will Beat Cancer" posted its latest update on October 22.
"Hi everyone please continue to share. We received the bill today for incidentals and we owe $10,099.00 as of today," the update read.
"As you all may have already heard Beverly broke her femur while at CHIPSA, only 3 days into her treatments. And the Benefit, did not raise enough to cover it all. Please share and share again! Bev needs your help in covering the hospital bills."
"As you all have seen this is working and she is making major strides. We appreciate any and all donations. Peace, Love and Light!"
Beverly auditioned for The Voice with a powerful rendition of "Piece of My Heart."
While both Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera pressed their buttons and turned their big red chairs around for her, Beverly opted to join "Team Christina."
When Beverly made it to the Final 4 along with Dia Frampton, Vicci Martinez, and eventual winner Javier Colon, she told People it felt like she was "waking up in a dream every day."
