Brookfield/Holden - Beverly A. (Brown) Landquist, 78, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday, October 25, 2025, surrounded by love and comfort.
Born in Leominster, she was the cherished daughter of the late Harold E. and Gladys L. (Peacock) Brown. Beverly attended Leominster High School and went on to lead a life marked by hard work, devotion, and quiet strength.
A skilled hairdresser for many years, Beverly later worked in the manufacturing industry. She lent her dedication and expertise to several local companies, including the former George S. Carrington Co. in Leominster, New England Tag Co. in Jefferson, and I.P.G. Photonics in Oxford, from which she retired in 2011.
A longtime resident of Holden before settling in Brookfield, Beverly was deeply devoted to her family. She will be remembered for her kind spirit, her unwavering love as a mother and grandmother, and the warmth she brought to every gathering.
She leaves behind her beloved children, Jamie Landquist and his wife, Carrie, of North Scituate, RI; Tracy Holland of Worcester; and Tara Landquist of Holden. She is also survived by her sister, Sandra Greenough of VA; and her beloved grandchildren, Nicholas Deperio-Holland and Emmalee Halpern, who brought her immeasurable joy; and her former husband of 46 years, Craig Landquist of Holden.
