Beverly, the daughter of Raymond and Bernice Verjinsky, was born on July 6, 1937. She had two brothers Bud (Vernon) the older and Butch (Ronald) the younger. She often talked about how she had to be the sister who kept them in check. Bev always told the stories of working at Art's Root Beer Stand near Witter Field and being called to help when needed. Even after she was working at Riverview Hospital and Wisconsin Rapids Water and Light she always had it in her heart to help Art when needed. Bev was a graduate of Lincoln High School and kept in contact with her high school friends throughout the decades. After high school, she met Ronald Oberbeck and fell in love. During Ron's leave from service in the US Navy he worked up the nerve to propose. They were married in July of 1959. Life then changed, they built their home of 64 years and started a family... all boys!!! Three of them. This tradition of boys continues as Ron and Bev have five grandsons and one great grandson. Bev loved being involved in the community especially when her children were involved. Bev served as a dedicated Immanuel Lutheran Church Sunday School Teacher for twenty years in the three year old classroom, a Cub Scout den mother and occasionally a baseball assistant coach when needed. She belonged to Homemakers, a Bunco Club, bowled with friends in leagues and tournaments and worked the elections as a poll worker. When Ron was at work she used her talent and patience to cross stitch beautiful scenes that hung on the walls of her home and those of her children. She loved to work in her flower beds during the spring and summer, caring for and watching the flowers as they grew and bloomed with vibrant colors. Retirement allowed for numerous trips to Atlanta to visit her youngest son and family, vacations with friends out west and the occasional trip to a casino to play the slots. Bev and Ron enjoyed watching sports together... the Brewers, the Packers and especially the Wisconsin Badgers. However, the time she cherished most was the time she was able to spend with her family, neighbors, friends and children that she had cared for. Bev is survived by her three sons: David (Susan) Oberbeck, Wausau; Jeffrey (Suzanne) Oberbeck, Wisconsin Rapids; Kent (Sasha) Oberbeck, Marietta, GA.; her grandsons Bradley (Anne) Oberbeck, Erik Oberbeck, Daniel Oberbeck, Jacob Oberbeck and Ian Oberbeck; one great grandson, Colson Oberbeck; sisters-in-law, Sharon (Tom) Dachel; Diane (Dizie) Oberbeck and Donna Verjinsky; and many special nieces and nephews. Bev was preceded in death by her husband Ronald Oberbeck, her father Raymond Verjinsky; mother Bernice Verjinsky, father-in-law Gerhardt Oberbeck; mother-in-law Mildred Oberbeck; her brothers Vernon (Bud) Verjinsky and Ronald (Butch) Verjinsky brothers-in-law Arthur (Kelly) Oberbeck, John Oberbeck, Gary Oberbeck and sisters-in-law Joyce Verjinsky and Marie Oberbeck and special nieces Jenni Oberbeck Netland and Anita (Nita) Yeager. Blessed be her memory.
