Beverly Jean Willey

Beverly Jean (Osgood) Willey, 81, of 101 Burke St., Nashua, passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning, Nov. 7, 2012, at the Community Hospice House in Merrimack after a lengthy illness.

A resident of Nashua, Beverly was born in Lancaster, N.H., Feb 6, 1931. She was the daughter of the late Harwood P. Osgood and the late Grace (Correll) Osgood. She was the widow of the late Alfred S. Willey Sr. (USCG, RET), who passed away on Dec. 10, 1996.

Beverly will be lovingly remembered as a devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, as well as one who always "told it like it is." She was also a lover of all animals, especially her best friend and companion, her late dog Punky.

Beverly is survived by three sons and two daughters-in-law; Alfred S. Willey Jr. of Nashua, James P. and Donna Willey of Nashua, and Harwood A. and Faith Willey of Newport News, Va., as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

There will be no local services. Beverly will be laid to rest at the Village Cemetery in Stark, N. H., beside her late husband and many generations of her family, overlooking the covered bridge and her most cherished childhood memories; a fitting place for one of the most loving, humble, and giving Moms to rest in eternal peace. As was her wish, there will be a small, private, family service in the Spring.

As was also her wish, if you'd like to make a donation in her name, please send them to the Humane Society of Nashua.
