Beverly enjoyed her summers at the “Camp” in Marlborough and filled many winter weekends snowmobiling in NH.  For the past 30 years she spent the winter in Florida where she enjoyed Disney World with her kids and grandkids every chance she could get.  She loved her town of Stow having been an active member of St. Isidore’s Parish since its founding in 1961.  She served the parish as a CCD teacher and choir member for many years.  She also volunteered as a Cub Scout leader, committee member and trainer for over 60 years being honored with the highest volunteer award of the Silver Fawn.  She was a school bus driver whose student passengers always referred to her as “Ma”, and was a driver for 30 years for the Senior Van with the Council on Aging.  She lovingly and compassionately delivered her clients to wherever they needed to be.  She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
