Beverly Wissel Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by John F. Pfleger Funeral Home, Inc. on Feb. 13, 2026.
Beverly Ann Wissel, 80, of Lincroft, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on February 12, 2026, in Middletown, New Jersey. She was born in Mount Vernon, New York, and later made her home in Lincroft, where she lived surrounded by her family.

Beverly graduated from SUNY New Paltz and went on to dedicate 33 years of her life to education, working as a teacher in New Jersey before retiring. She married Robert G. Wissel, the love of her life, in 1968, and together they built a life centered on family, faith, and love.

She is survived by her two daughters, Kristen Artale and Jennifer Dondero of Lincroft, New Jersey; her sons-in-law, Robert Artale and Joseph Dondero; and her cherished grandchildren, Joey, Katelynn, CJ, Bobby, and Maddie. She is also survived by her sister-in-law, Sandy Schimler, as well as cousins, nieces, and nephews whom she loved very much.

Beverly was predeceased by her beloved husband of 37 years, Robert G. Wissel; her brother, Edwin Schimler; and her parents, Edwin and Helen Schimler.

Beverly was a woman full of joy, laughter, and love. She had a sharp mind and a good sense of humor, and she enjoyed games of all kinds-board games, cards, bingo, and especially watching game shows. She seemed to have a special bit of luck on her side, often winning scratch-offs and enjoying good fortune at bingo.

Family was at the heart of Beverly's life. She loved deeply and unconditionally, with a special place in her heart for her grandchildren, whom she truly adored. Kind, loving, and generous in spirit, Beverly made everyone feel welcome and cared for. She appreciated life's simple joys and treasured time spent together, especially moments filled with quality time, laughter, and sweet treats shared with those she loved.

Beverly's faith was unshakable. She loved God and lived out the gospel of Jesus Christ each day. A long time member of New Monmouth Baptist Church in Middletown, her faith guided her life and sustained her through all seasons.

Beverly will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her, but her legacy of love, laughter, faith, and family will live on in the hearts of many.

Visitation will be held Monday, February 16, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the John F. Pfleger Funeral Home, 115 Tindall Road, Middletown, New Jersey.

A funeral service will be held Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at New Monmouth Baptist Church, 4 Cherry Tree Farm Road, Middletown, New Jersey.
