This was a place for family gatherings, fishing, playing cards with the grandkids, or just sitting on the swing at the lake taking in God’s beauty.   Beverly is survived by her husband, Stephen, of 65 years; children, Charles (Sharon) Mann of Cherry Valley, IL, Katherine (Jeff) Marnach of LaCrescent, MN, Stephanie (Tim) Conway of Onalaska, WI, and Jennifer (John) Trucco of Wausau, WI; and grandchildren, Lindsay (Adam) Adkins, Nicholas (fiancée Maddie O’Brien) Marnach, Daniel (Allie) Marnach, Matthew Marnach, Kelsey (fiancé Ryan Heyrman) Conway, Samuel Conway and Ryan Trucco.
