She has been our guiding light throughout the years. We admired her words of wisdom with a sprinkle of sass. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved hot tea with three wedges of lemon. Wedges, not slices - she’d tell you the difference, if you didn’t know. Beverly was a founding member and parishioner of St. Basil The Great Byzantine Catholic Church for 60 years. She was a member of the St. Macrina Guild, serving as president and vice president over the past 60 years. Beverly was a breast cancer survivor of nearly 60 years and was thankful for the time she was given. She was a founding member of the Pinto Pinochle Card Club and enjoyed the ladies’ friendship for over 50 years. As a GCU member and officer, she participated in the activities and fundraisers of Lodge 250. She supported her husband, children and grandchildren in their sporting activities. Over the years, she traveled with Nick to hockey and softball tournaments and helped plan many hockey banquets. Beverly was respected and admired by her family and friends. We were blessed to have her in our lives. She will be dearly missed. Visitation Friday, 3-9pm with Parastas 7:00pm at Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons. 36900 Schoenherr at Metro Parkway (16 Mile).
