y ny where she met the love of her life, Kenneth. They were married for 73 years before his passing.

A longtime member of the Nassau Reformed Church, Beverly’s soprano voice in the choir was so beautiful and so loved. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and Amaranth. Her gift of song was only superseded by her many artistic talents; painting, sewing, knitting, crochet and craft making of many mediums. Beverly enjoyed many years as the Avon lady as well. Always busy, always laughing.

Beverly enjoyed her summers on Cape Cod from the time she was a child with her parents, brother Elbridge and sister Florence. Later with her own family, she was able to celebrate many a peaceful evening in Onset. Her crab cakes were the best ever.

She is survived by her children, Kenneth Duryea (Susan Gnirke) with whom she resided, and her daughter Beverly Visconti of Del Ray Beach, Fla.

Beverly was always so thankful for those that would stop by and visit for a while, to sing Alleluia with Reverend Ed and Janet Vankampen, or anyone to play a few hands of cards and just chat. She was so appreciative of the Hospice team that helped her and her family.

She was loved by many, however, in her passing from this life, she is joined again with the love of her life.
