Beverly Jean Haagenson was born on June 12, 1933, in Union Grove Township to Peter and Lola (Spaulding) Anderson. She graduated from Paynesville High School in 1951. On June 1, 1957, Beverly married Gerald Haagenson in Paynesville. They shared 65 wonderful years together until Gerald's passing on December 13, 2022. They initially lived in Minneapolis before moving to Crystal in 1960, where they resided until 2020. Most recently, they had called Plymouth their home.
Her professional life included a fulfilling role as an administrative assistant at Carl Sandburg Junior High, where she made lasting impressions on many students and colleagues.
An active and devoted member of the Lutheran community, Beverly was a member of Nordland Lutheran Church and a former member of Calvary Lutheran Church in Golden Valley where she generously volunteered in the children's youth and music ministries.
Beverly had many passions outside of her community service. She enjoyed playing cards with friends and family, delving into various crafts, and indulging in her love for needlework, especially quilting. Her love for music and playing the piano made a lasting impression on her three boys, instilling in them a deep appreciation for music and the joy it brings to life.
Beverly's warmth, kindness, and unwavering faith touched the lives of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for her loving spirit, dedication to her family, and her commitment to her faith community.
Her legacy of love, faith, and service will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her. May she rest in peace.
Beverly is survived by her sons, Dean (Debbie) Haagenson, Steve (Kris) Haagenson, and Jeff (Anna) Haagenson.
