Beverly Hisky Waring, 87, of St. Petersburg, FL passed away on August 22, 2018. Widow of Henry A. Waring, she is survived by her seven children-Beth Rushworth of Baltimore, MD; Laura Hahn (Stephen) of Burke, VA; Meg Synk (Michael) of Memphis; Joseph Waring (Amornraht) of Hong Kong; David Waring (Brenda) of Seattle, WA; Philip Waring (Diane) of Milwaukee, WI; and Bill Brigance (Gay) of Bartlett-as well as 15 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She also leaves her siblings, Don Hisky and Linda Wright. She was predeceased by her sister, Ann Cleveland.

A wise and loving mother, avid reader, and committed baseball fan, Beverly enjoyed traveling, listening to Elvis, and topping off the bourbon for her many friends and family members. Over a lifetime of service, she provided for needy families, created costumes for community theaters, and worked as a docent. Beverly created a home for her family in Memphis, Tennessee; New Milford, Connecticut; and Appleton, Wisconsin, before joining dear friends in St. Petersburg for her last adventure.

Beverly's life will be remembered in Memphis at a service at the Metal Museum, Friday, November 23 at 1 p.m.

Memorials can be directed to the St. Petersburg Free Clinic.
