Beverly lost her battle with metastatic breast cancer on Sunday, November 3, 2019. She was born October 11, 1955 to the late Joseph Duni and surviving Dorothy Duni. Surviving are her husband, Richard and children Christopher, Natalie and Ashley. Her mother Dorothy. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy, Avarie, Caroline, Roger, Everlee and Brynley. Also survived by sisters Patricia, Christine and her brother, Joseph. She was loved by many nieces and nephews as well as her in laws.
She was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and underwent treatment and was cancer free for 13 years until February of 2019 we learned it had metastasized to her brain and lymph nodes. She underwent a craniotomy, radiation and chemotherapy but unfortunately 8 months later, her body could not handle the fight anymore, even though she stayed hopeful and strong throughout.
She was an amazing mother and grandmother and will truly be missed by all who know her. She was kind, thoughtful, creative and always did for others. She would always put others before herself.
She loved to watch her favorite TV shows that she would tape and drink her hot tea. She loved word puzzles and doodling. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren and even watched her grandchild Everlee. She taught Everlee so much in the short time she watched her before she got sick. Most important she gave her the unconditional love of a grandmother and taught her her love for nature. She took after her father who was an artist and was quite the artist herself. She enjoyed making handmade items for her family. She was very crafty. She made blankets, pillows, boxes, ornaments, decorations, and much more, all of which we can cherish forever along with our memories.
She will be missed by all and we love her very much. We will be having a memorial mass and ceremony on November 23, 2019.
