On Monday April 15th, 2024 our beloved mother and grandmother, aged 85 was carried gently into Jesus’ arms; her last and heavenly home. We celebrate her overwhelming joy as she now worships God in His glorious presence. Beverly is now reunited with her beloved husband Bradford P. Wirth.
Beverly is survived by her two children, Bradford P Wirth II. (Lisa), and Peter Wirth (Karen); five grandchildren, Emily Wirth, Bradford P. Wirth III, Ian Wirth, Patrick Wirth, and Kathleen Wirth; a brother William Schuemann (Nancy); and sister-in-law Jane Kent (Quincy).
Beverly was a graduate of Hathaway Brown School for Girls (Cleveland Heights Ohio Class of ‘56) Attended Sweet Briar College, Rhode Island School of Design, and graduated from Syracuse University with a BFA in Advertising Design and a MFA in Illustration. She also earned Graduate credits from Princeton University in Theological Seminary.
She celebrated a prolific multimedia career, as “Artist for Christ” in pen & ink, photography, stained glass, paper, and fabric collages. Beverly was an author - illustrator of six (6) books and playwright for four (4) plays as founder of Marietta (Christian) Theater. Over the last several years Beverly made winter scarves for the needy throughout Syracuse, tallying nearly 6,000 scarves. Each scarf was tied with a bow so the person would receive joy in receiving and opening a gift.
Beverly founded and decorated the Chapel of Light (in 2021), a place for all Christians to come and pray. She was a member of the International order of St. Luke the Physician, and active for 35 years in the healing ministry. Her exhibits and commissionsions extend across the USA, Canada, the United Kingdom, Jerusalem, and Madagascar.
A memorial service will be held on Monday, May 13th at 10am at St. Mary’s of the Lake Church, Skaneateles with a reception to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a place where Beverly and Bradford spent years bringing the Light of Jesus to many, Saint Peter and Saint John Episcopal Soup Kitchen, 169 Genesee Street, #3403, Auburn NY 13021.
