On January 17, our beloved wife, mom, grandma, great grandma, and sister, Beverly Jean (Sadd) Kuebler was called to her heavenly home surrounded by her family. We were blessed to have her with us for nearly 85 years. She lived her faith by loving others as God loved us. She leaves a legacy of love, kindness and generosity in all the lives she touched.

Beverly was born March 2, 1939, to George and Geraldine (Smith) Sadd.

She married Charles Kuebler on February 5,1956. They were blessed with nearly 68 years of marriage together and three daughters, Cindy, Kris and Lori. Bev spent her time growing the most beautiful gardens, irrigating, sorting hogs, assisting with 4-H projects, and working on the bean machine. She definitely had a green thumb and her garden and flowers reflected the love and care she gave them.

She also took great pride in being a homemaker. She created a home that was warm and welcoming. Charles was injured in a farm accident that left him paralyzed in 1978. She never left his side, assisting him with every need. We considered her an angel on this Earth.

During their time on the farm, Charles and Bev were surrounded by the most caring neighbors and lifelong friends.

They enjoyed playing cards in their card club, having coffee with neighbors, going on ski trips, and participating in the Denman Bells and Beaus 4-H club with their girls. Bev was also a member of the Our Night Out Club. These neighbors and dear friends became like family. Bev was a member of the St. Paul’s Lutheran Church at Lowell. This country church was where she and Charles raised their family in the way they should go. Faith was very important to Bev and she lived it each day. You could hear her beautiful voice singing every Sunday.

She taught Sunday School and was a member of the LWML. She loved her little country church and her church family at Lowell dearly.

Bev loved her grandchildren fiercely. She spent every possible moment caring for them and cheering them on. She enjoyed going to each of their events. You could definitely hear Grandma Bev cheering from the stands with the biggest smile full of pride. She was their biggest fan and she meant the world to all of them.

Bev was not only known for her huge heart, but her amazing cooking ability. She prepared every item with love and believed the more, the better.

Every single dish was perfect and delicious. Her popcorn balls and pies were legendary.

Neighbors and friends still comment on how they miss coming to the house on Halloween for mom’s popcorn balls. When you tasted mom’s cooking, you never forgot it. She was second to none. She used her love of cooking to assist others in their time of need.

If there was a tragedy or a celebration, Bev was there with a full meal prepared. She had a servant heart and she found great joy in helping others.

In 2013, Bev was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. She battled bravely for over 11 years, but God knew it was time for her to come home. She is now in her savior’s arms free of the terrible disease. Throughout this battle, her beautiful heart remained the same. Her great grandchildren felt her love without speaking a word.

Through her beautiful smiles, giggles, and time on Grandma’s lap her love lived on. How they loved their Grandma Bev. Her beautiful heart continues to beat on through all she loved.

John 15:12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
