On June 19, 1954, Beverly was united in marriage to Raymond Filtz in Wittenberg. He survives.

Beverly was employed at Hanke's Super Valu, Wittenberg, for over 19 years. She was a member of St. Ladislaus Catholic Church, Bevent, and its Rosary Society. Beverly loved sports and was an avid Brewers and Packers fan. She enjoyed shooting pool, bowling, cards and overnight trips with her sister, Annette. She also enjoyed the people she met when she was working at the grocery store. Beverly was looking forward to spending more time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, since her retirement.

Beverly always had a sweet, gentle smile. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and friend full of gentleness, kindness, compassion and love. Her heart overflowed with love for her husband, children and grandchildren and we all loved her in return. We will never forget her Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. She was the rock of our family and an Angel on earth. We will miss her very much.
