Beverly J. Meeuwsen, 92, of De Pere, Wisconsin, passed away on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at Evergreen Assisted Living in Kingsford, Michigan. She was born February 4, 1927 in Milwaukee, WI, daughter of the late Hazel (Pederson) and Mel Anderson and she was the last of seven children. Bev graduated from East De Pere High School in 1945. She married Joseph G. Meeuwsen on June 12, 1948 and was happily married for 64 years. Bev was employed as an Administrative Secretary for the East De Pere School District, retiring in 1989. Joe preceded her in death in 2012. Bev is survived by four children, Terry (Andy) Friedrich of Chesapeake, VA, Judie (Jim) Harvey of Raleigh, NC, Joe (Carrie) Meeuwsen of Iron Mountain and Peter Meeuwsen (Joan Jarstad) of Suamico, WI; 16 grandchildren, Drew Friedrich, Tory Breland, J.P.

She has deposited her light in all of us so it will never go out. With every game of Charades or Rummy Cube the light shines brighter. She has taught us to love each other and welcome others into our circle! We are her legacy and aren’t we thankful that she took the time to invest in each of us over and over again. She was the best, she is the best, and she will always hold that place in our hearts. A mother’s love never ends…it goes on in her family forever and ever! Thank you Lord for the gift of this kind, loving, funny, brave mom who always has given her all! We are blessed! “She is a woman of strength and dignity…her words are wise and kindness is the rule for everything she says. Her children rise up and call her blessed.” Ps. 31 Private family services will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers the family has requested that donations be made in Beverly's memory to orphanspromise.org The family would like to extend a heartfelt “thank you” to all the staff at Evergreen Assisted Living for the loving care and assistance they gave Bev over the years. Condolences may be expressed to the family of Beverly J. Meeuwsen online at www.ernashfuneralhomes.com. The family has entrusted the Erickson-Rochon & Nash Funeral Home with the arrangements.
