BEVERLY GREER Obituary

GREER, Beverly J. MS, MD, MPH Of Westborough, MA died at age 69 on January 21, 2021 after an extended illness. Daughter of the late William Greer, MD and Mary (Bettie) Greer. Devoted and adored sister of Peter Greer of Richmond, VA, Scott Greer of Pittsburgh, PA and Stuart and his wife Barbara Greer of Sunapee, NH. Cherished aunt of Courtney Greer of Providence, RI, Katherine Greer of New York, NY, Rebekah Gabor of Vienna, VA and Tucker Greer of Richmond, VA. Much loved by many friends near and far, all of whom were dear to her. Brave, stoic and resilient, to the amazement of all she battled and defeated significant health issues in her later life. Previously, she had enjoyed skiing, tennis and world travel. She never lost her sense of humor. Beverly graduated from Needham High School, followed by Mount Holyoke College. She received her Master's in Zoology from the University of Connecticut before choosing a career as a physician. Like her father, Beverly received her Doctor of Medicine from the Boston University School of Medicine. She practiced obstetrics and gynecology at the Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge for many years. After retiring, and in her never-ending pursuit of knowledge, Beverly obtained her Master of Public Health from the University of Massachusetts. As a result of her longtime passion for gardening, she became a certified Master Gardener, volunteering at the Gardens at Elm Bank, the Garden in the Woods, and other locales. Due to current pandemic limitations, services are private. There will be a celebration of Beverly's life at a later time. In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made for a permanent tribute to Beverly at the Native Plant Trust's Garden in the Woods.

I am so sorry to hear of Bev´s passing. Bev just popped into my head today so of course I googled to see what she was up to. Bev was a good friend when I lived in Boston and we lost touch as the miles between us grew and our lives continued on different paths. She was such a lovely, caring person and I am so sorry to hear of her death at such a young age. My heartfelt condolences to Bev´s family and friends. RIP dear Bev

Bev was a dear friend, gracious, caring and always there. She would do anything for a friend. I will miss her energy, hugs, laughter, being in nature, hiking, playing with the dogs, and camping. Rest In Peace Bev you are free of your pain now.

In 1989 i was expecting my first child and was quite ill, so I went to Mt. Auburn Hospital where my doctor was located. However, Dr. Beverley Greer was on duty and, as soon as I saw her, I felt so much better! Her mere presence improved my condition, and I went home feeling fine! I went on to deliver a healthy baby girl via Caesarian. For my second daughter, I was given the name of the doctor who would be on duty on the date of my scheduled for a Caesarian delivery in 1990. Dr. Greer was to assist. I respectfully asked for Dr. Greer to be the lead doctor and for the other doctor to assist. All was agreed upon, and I felt so comfortable in the very capable hands of Dr. Greer. Shortly after, I moved to NJ, so I no longer saw Dr. Greer, but I never forgot how she helped me with both of my lovely girls. Thank you Dr. Greer!
