Beverly E Kobel

Beverly E. Kobel, born on August 12, 1927, in Manchester, passed away peacefully on December 24, 2025. She lived a remarkable life, rooted in the values instilled in her by her parents and her upbringing in a large family as the tenth of twelve children.

Educated in Manchester, she carried her love for learning and community throughout her life. After marrying Rudolph Kobel, she devoted herself wholeheartedly to raising their four beloved children. Beverly’s role as a mother was a cornerstone of her life, and she embraced the joys and challenges of nurturing her family with grace.

Beverly had a multitude of passions. She found great joy in bowling, a sport that bonded her with friends and family alike. She also had a great love of baking, even making wedding cakes for her friends and family. Always hands-on, Beverly was skilled in knitting, crocheting, sewing, and needlepoint, often dedicating her time and talents to her church family with gracious service.

A member of both the Mizpah Rebekah Lodge of Derry, NH and Rockingham Eastern Star Lodge of Derry, NH for over 50 years, Beverly served her community with commitment and dedication. Her contributions to these organizations spoke volumes about her character and compassion for others.

Beverly will be deeply missed by her loving family. She is reunited in spirit with her devoted husband, Rudolph Kobel, and her son George Kobel, who have preceded her in death.

She leaves behind her sons; Richard Glen and his wife Debra, and Jon Kobel and his wife Terry, her daughter; Melissa Dann and her husband Bill, six grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.

As we reflect on Beverly's life, we celebrate a woman who embraced every moment and touched the lives of everyone around her. Her laughter, warmth, and unwavering love will forever resonate in the memories of those fortunate enough to have known her.
