Beverly Ann Elliott (née Stanley) passed away peacefully on July 21, 2025 at the age of 92, surrounded by the love of her family. She was the beloved wife of the late Bev Elliott and a devoted mother to her late sons, Mark and Bruce (Mary) and surviving children, Rick, Deb and Mary-Lynne.
Ann was the cherished grandmother to Chiara, Rebekah, Joel, Bethany, Amanda, Brittany, Blair, Elysse, and Austin and great-grandmother to Arian, Ethan, Kirsten, Clarissa, Eleanor, Liam, Philippa, Sophia, Benson, and Hazen. She was a dear friend to her surviving sister, June, and late siblings Jim, Bill, and Joy. She was the loving daughter of the late Revington Stanley, the late Ida Stanley (mother), and the late Ada Stanley (stepmother).
Ann’s tenacious spirit carried her through every adversity. After losing her mother at the age of 12, she took on the responsibility of helping raise her siblings and feeding the workers on her father’s farm. She began working outside the farm in her teens, taking summer jobs at hotels and later working at a local bank. After marrying Bev, she managed the farm’s finances with care and precision while raising their five children.
Ann was a gracious and lively host. Sunday dinners, family reunions, and church picnics were often held at the farm, where she seemed to have an endless supply of food and energy for all who gathered. Even in later years, Grandma’s house remained a favorite meeting place.
A woman of deep faith, Ann was always ready with a verse, a song, a prayer, or words of wisdom for those around her. She was an active member of her church communities, finding great joy and purpose in youth ministries.
Her faithful, loving, and playful spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
