Beverly Jean Ley

Beverly spent most of her life in Vermont before moving to Florida several years ago. Throughout her life she built lasting friendships, raised her family, and made countless memories.

Beverly and her beloved husband, Robert, shared 67 years of marriage. Their love story began when her sister Mary introduced them so Beverly could teach Robert how to dance. That first dance lesson turned into a lifetime together.

Beverly was a loving mother to Jeanie Kelly, Michael (Kathy), Thomas (Jose), and Kathi Shangraw (Burt). She was a proud grandmother to Amanda Fabian (Sam) and Courtney Ley (Kenneth Quirke). She is also survived by her sister, Betty Fitzsimmons.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Mary Danforth (Oliver) and her son-in-law Michael Kelly.

Beverly enjoyed keeping busy and embracing the things she loved. She enjoyed playing cribbage and Mahjong, dancing, quilting, and cooking. Whether gathered around a card table, enjoying music and dancing, working on a quilting project, or preparing a meal, she found happiness in life's simple pleasures and time spent with family and friends.

Above all, Beverly will be remembered for her love of family, her devotion to Robert, and the many memories and traditions she created throughout her life.

Her 89 years were filled with love, laughter, friendships, and a beautiful story that began with a dance lesson and continued for 67 wonderful years.

She will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew and loved her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.

May she rest in peace.
