Beverly M. Markham

BARRE - Beverly Mae (Dolan) Markham, age 65, of Barre, Vermont, passed away on Sunday, July 22, 2018, at the Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin, Vermont.
Born on June 3, 1953, at Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital in Lebanon, New Hampshire, she was the daughter of Gaylord and Virginia (Wagner) Dolan. Beverly attended U-32 High School.
Beverly was a homemaker and a mother of three. She enjoyed listening to country music, taking care of her cats and most of all, spending time with her grandchildren. She was a thrifty woman who could always make the best of what she had to take care of her children and family. She was a selfless woman who put the needs of others ahead of her own, always.
Beverly Mae Dolan was a great woman with a big heart. She loved all her friends and family but she held her grandchildren and kitties in a different light - she would've done anything for them. She didn't leave her house often but if her grandchildren or kitties needed her, she'd try her best to be there. She was selfless, strong and stubborn which held true to the very end, said her granddaughter, Brittany Weston.
Beverly was preceded in death by her parents Gaylord and Virginia Dolan; and son, Chan Michael Dolan, in July 2014.
Survivors include her life partner, Larry Belknap, of Barre; her son, Royce MJ Lussier Jr. and his wife, Molly, of West Berlin; daughter, Diana Macaskill and partner Charles Edson, of Barre; two brothers, Richard Dolan and wife Annie, of Waits River, Vermont, and Robert Dolan, of California; sister, Mary (Dolan) Duff and husband Robert, of Gate City, Virginia; several grandchildren, Denver Lussier, Brittany Weston, Lianarose Weston, Merrick Lussier, and great-grandchild, Aubrey Huntley; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
A graveside service to honor and celebrate her life will be held on Sunday, Aug. 5, at 2 p.m. in the North Branch Cemetery in Middlesex, Vermont. There are no calling hours. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Central Vermont Humane Society, P.O. Box 687, Montpelier, VT 05601.
