THE VILLAGES, Fla. — Beverly Irene Lunn, 95, of The Villages, Florida, and formerly of Brookfield, Austintown and Struthers, passed away on Monday, Aug. 12, 2024, at A Banyan Residence Assisted Living in Oxford, Florida.
Beverly was born on Sept. 17, 1928, the daughter of Robert and Jessie McKee Young.
She graduated in 1946 from Struthers High School. In 1949, she became a registered nurse after graduating from St. Luke’s Hospital School of Nursing in Cleveland, and several years later, she received her bachelor’s degree in nursing from Youngstown State University. She served as a school nurse for many years in the Austintown schools, leaving her free to spend her summers with her grandchildren.
Bev was an avid sports fan, with a special fondness for The Ohio State Buckeyes, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Cleveland Browns. She enjoyed her card games with friends and family (especially euchre and Kings in the Corner), bocce and bowling. She was always a big supporter of her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids, cheering them on at track meets, baseball games, soccer games, dance recitals, and marching band performances.
Bev and her husband, Kenny, moved from Ohio to The Villages, Florida in 2003, to allow more time to enjoy outside activities.
Bev loved her Ohio churches, Struthers Presbyterian Church and Wickliffe Presbyterian Church, and when they moved to Florida, North Lake Presbyterian Church, where she was an active member of the Esther Circle. While remaining active in the St. Luke’s alumni group, she kept busy in Florida playing golf and bocce with Kenny, enjoying her monthly Sunday tea club, retired nurses club and euchre club, among many other clubs. She went to the Genesis Health Club (formerly MVP) at least a couple of days a week, until she passed.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, Kenny; her parents, Robert and Jessie Young; siblings,, James and Anna Margaret (Elias); grandchild, Jack Lunn; and great- grandchild, Isaiah Bryant.
She is survived by four children, Jill (Bob Boerst) Lunn, of The Villages, Florida, Jack (LaDonna) Lunn of Brookfield, Maxine (Donald) Kerens of Port St. Lucie, Florida, and Robert (Lynn) Lunn of Silverthorne, Colorado. She has eight surviving grandchildren who are spread out across the country, Scott (Tia) Adams, Jessica (Gary) Bender, Lisa (Jim) Bryant, Jamie (Jeff) Bryant, Tyler (Tiffany) Lunn, Scott Lunn, Corey (Aubrey) Lunn and Kevin Lunn. Her survivors also include 13 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren.
