Beverly A. Beauchamp

 

Beverly “Bev” Ann (Savant) Beauchamp, 88, our beloved mother and grandmother, peacefully went home to be with the Lord, Monday, January 12, 2026, at her home in Anoka, MN.

Bev was born September 9, 1937, in Hurley, WI, to the late James “Jim” and Lena (Piazza) Savant. She attended grade school at St. Mary’s in Hurley and graduated in 1955 from J.E. Murphy High School. On July 12, 1958, she married Francis Eugene Beauchamp. The family moved to Whitehall in 1982, where Bev worked as an Insurance Agent at The Insurance Center before retiring in 2001, and moving to Anoka, MN.

Bev cherished her annual trips to Door County, WI, and loved to travel and cruise all around the world with her children. She was most proud of her grandchildren and never missed a birthday, a graduation or a reason to celebrate with them. At home, she loved spending time with her beloved Beagle pups and was a devoted homemaker who loved cooking huge Italian meals and baking many tasty desserts. Bev’s legacy of resilience, generosity of spirit, love and her unwavering faith will be carried on by all those who were blessed to know her.

Bev is survived by her sons: Daniel and Darrell (Cindy); daughter, Diane; and grandchildren: John, Mary, and Anna. She is also survived by her brothers-in-law: Lawrence (Jo), Clarence (Mary Lou), and John (Mary Anne); as well as her sister-in-law, Mary Ann (Richard). Bev will be missed dearly by countless extended family members and friends.

In addition to her parents, Bev was preceded in death by her husband of 25 years, Francis; her son, David; and her sister, Violet.

Visitation will be held Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., followed by a funeral mass celebrating Bev’s life at 11:00 a.m., at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Hurley, WI. A graveside burial service will be held at a later date at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Hurley.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully asks that memorial contributions in Bev’s name can be made to A Breath of Hope Lung Cancer Foundation of Bloomington, MN.

The family has chosen the McKevitt-Patrick Funeral Home in Ironwood to honor Bev’s legacy of life. To make an online condolence, visit www.McKevittPatrickFuneralHome.com.
