Beverly J. Bubel

1942 - 2024

Beverly Joan Bubel passed away at her home with her loving family by her side on July 5, 2024.

Bev was born on July 6, 1942, in Utica, NY to Edward and Marjorie Boxall. She graduated from Whitesboro High School in 1960 and completed her training in radiology in 1962. On December 19, 1964, she married the love of her life Roger G. Bubel of Utica and would spend the rest of her days building a beautiful life with him.

Bev dedicated her professional life to helping others. She forged a career in healthcare operating as an X-ray technician first at Rose Hospital in Rome, NY and later Slocum Dickson in Utica. After returning to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Utica College in 1998 she became the Director of Admissions at the Lutheran Home in Clinton, NY.

Bev enjoyed so much in life including cooking, baking, shopping, gardening, reading, watching her television shows and movies, playing golf and traveling. She celebrated and suffered along with her favorite football team in Washington and her Yankees. But nothing could compare to hosting Sunday Supper and holiday celebrations with her family and her dogs, the most important traditions in her life.

Bev is survived by her husband Roger; her children and their spouses: Kimberly and David LaForest (Westmoreland, NY), Roger Jr. and Rebecca Bubel (Galway, NY), Felicia and Nick Sardina (Whitesboro, NY); her grandchildren and partners: Jamie LaForest and fiancé Fran Andoloro (Westmoreland, NY), Jessica Sardina and fiancé Dylan Allen (Whitesboro, NY), Nicholas Sardina (Whitesboro); her sole great-grandchild Anthony Andoloro; and extended family, honorary family members and friends.

Special thanks to Kathy Smyth for providing compassionate assistance to the Bubel family and loving care for Bev during these difficult days.

Friends are invited to a calling hour Friday, July 12, 2024, at 11am at Dimbleby Funeral Home, 40 Main St., Whitesboro, NY. A memorial service for family and friends will follow at 12pm.
