Beverly Joanne Peterson, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend, born on June 10, 1937, has passed from natural causes, at age 88, on Aug. 6, 2025, at U.P. Health System-Portage hospital, with family by her side.

She is now free from pain and confusion.

Mom was, for the most part, a stay-at-home mom. She loved baking, we could always count on home-made bread with our meals and cream puffs at holiday dinners. She prepared many joyful holiday meals.

We are going to miss some of her favorite sayings – crazy old bat, you reckon, crazy as ever and kiddo, to name a few.

Our mother was preceded in death by her husband, Donald E. Peterson; her sons, Kurt Peterson, and Morgan J. Peterson; and great grandson, Chase Anderson. Mom’s parents, siblings, and in-laws have also passed.
