Beverly J. Tafel, 91, formerly of Centerville Court, North Syracuse, NY, passed away Tuesday at her daughter's home.
Born and raised in Fairmount, NY, Beverly married the love of her life, Robert "Bob" W. Tafel on May 31, 1947. They raised their family in Liverpool, NY. Bob predeceased her on December 28, 1988.
Beverly's time was filled with her family. She loved to garden, read, bake, and sharing those things with her children and grandchildren. She also truly enjoyed her involvement in the Cicero Senior Center and the Red Hats. She was a member of Pitcher Hill Community Church for over 60 years and was active in many groups and committees. Beverly and her husband Bob chaired church bazaars and dinners and she continued to make the gravy for the well-known roast beef dinner until last year.
She is survived by her children, Howard (Cynthia) Tafel, Brad (Donna) Tafel, Tracy (Randy) Lacelle, and Shelley (Tracy) Tafel-LaFave; brother, Loren (Joan) Meeder. The family that she loved and was so very proud of also included twelve grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren, and two great-great grandchildren.
Services will be held at the Pitcher Hill Community Church, 605 Bailey Road, North Syracuse, NY, on Saturday, November 24th. Friends and family may visit between 10 and 11:30AM with a service to follow.
