Obituary for Beverley G. Daniels
Beverley G. Daniels of Dresser, WI, formerly of Frederic, WI, passed away on Friday, April 15, 2016 at United Hospital in St. Paul, MN.
Bev was born May 18, 1934 in Rice Lake, WI to Reeve and Florence Ellison. She attended Bruce High School where she began her appreciation for music by singing in the choir and playing the bass drum in the marching band. It is because of music that she met Dean, the love of her life. She graduated from Bruce, WI High School on her golden birthday. She would later marry Dean on September 6, 1952 on Dean's first furlough from the U.S. Army.
Shortly following Dean's discharge from the Army, they took over the family farm where she managed the household and worked outside of the home at the bank in Bruce. This marriage was soon blessed with four children, David, Lisa, Andrea and Tanya. Bev took care of the children, helped around the farm and kept things running smoothly while Dean went to college at age 37. He still attributes much of his success in college to Bev's typing of his papers, etc.
The family moved to Clayton in 1975 where she worked as a secretary at a local insurance agency.
In 1977, the family relocated to Frederic, WI. Bev worked at the InterCounty Leader for several years before working as a legal secretary for Grindell Law Offices where she would retire in 1993. Bev continued her love for music with her participation in the local chapter of the Sweet Adelines. She also enjoyed her work with the local and county chapters of the American Legion Auxiliary.
In 2007, Dean and Bev sold their home in Frederic and decided to relocate to St. Croix Falls since most of the children and grandchildren were located there. They called this home for several years until deciding to sell and rent a townhome in Dresser, WI.
Throughout her lifetime, the couple was always active members in the church and church choir in whatever community they lived. On Monday nights, Bev's family and closest friends knew not to call her. After all, she would be busy watching and tracking the scores for Dancing With The Stars. Bev also had an insurmountable passion for trains and collected anything to do with them. Her father and grandfather were both conductors for the Soo Line Railroad. She was thrilled to live in Dresser which was one of the main stops on their line back in the day.
Bev was probably known most for her loving and caring heart. She was indeed a friend to anyone and everyone and always put others before herself. She loved her husband, Dean, and was so proud of their 63 year marriage. When asked for marital advice by her grandchildren, she would simply respond with "communication"! In her later years, Bev began volunteering at the St. Croix Regional Medical Center in St. Croix Falls. She took her job very seriously and thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people, greeting patients and having lunch with her girls. Most of the staff at SCRMC sincerely refer to her as "Mom" and always looked forward to her hugs and smiles. But above anything else, Bev was always happiest around family.
She is survived by her husband, Dean; children, David Daniels and wife Lu, Lisa Daniels and fiancé John Tangen, Andrea Daniels and husband Bryan Allen, and Tanya Mortel; 6 grandchildren, Tony DiVenturi (Sara), Sabyre Daniels, Jasmine Holmquist, Rachel Rush (Mitchel), Randy Mortel, and Jerrica Jones; 2 great-grandchildren, Wyatt Holmquist and Wrylin Holmquist; sisters, Caryl Johnson and Donna Jasicki; several nieces and nephews and many friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Reeve and Florence Ellison; her brother, Malcolm Ellison; her grandson-in-law, Sgt. Carson Holmquist; and is joined by brother-in-law, James Johnson.
Visitation will be held Friday, April 29th from 4 to 7:00 p.m. at the Rowe Funeral Home in Luck. A Memorial Service will be held at First Lutheran Church in Cushing, WI on Saturday, April 30th at 11:00 a.m. with one hour visitation at the church prior to the service.
