Beverly Jean Anzalone, affectionately known as Bev, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2024, in Austin, Texas surrounded by her loved ones. Born on November 9, 1951, in Lawrence, Massachusetts, Bev's warmth and vivacity was felt by everyone who was lucky enough to know her.
Bev graduated from Tenney High School, class of 1969, in Methuen, MA. She earned an associate's degree in fashion merchandising from Essex North Shore Agricultural and Technical School in Danvers, MA. After marrying the love of her life, Stephen Charles Anzalone, Bev transitioned into her most cherished role as a homemaker, dedicating her life to raising their two daughters, Rebecca and Kathryn, with love and devotion.
Bev's life was a testament to her loving, kind, and selfless nature. She had a passion for traveling, immersing herself in the beauty of new places and cultures and planning family vacations that created lifetime memories. Her love for reading transported her to different worlds, while her artistic talents were expressed through her arts and crafts; especially in her jewelry and diamond art making. Bev's cats, Angel, Sophie, and Bernie, were her constant companions, bringing joy and comfort to her days.
A lover of fine dining and musicals, Bev relished these experiences most when shared with her beloved family. In recent years, she enjoyed starting a new chapter in Texas and being close to her girls. Her laughter and presence at family gatherings will be deeply missed by her daughters, Rebecca "Becky" Jean Klassen, her husband Brandon Robert Klassen, their daughter Charlotte Jean Klassen, and her daughter Kathryn "Katie" Lee Anzalone who served as Bev's caregiver in recent years.
Bev was preceded in death by her husband Stephen, her father Robert Daniel Naylor, her mother Elaine Yvonne Naylor, and her brother Warren Robert Naylor. Bev had a gift of always seeing beauty in the little things and a relentless optimism that carried her through life. Her legacy of love and compassion will live on in the hearts of those who knew her and her memory will be cherished forever.
A Private Memorial Service will be held.
