Beverly J. Fiorini

Beverly J. Fiorini, age 88, of Sheboygan Falls, WI, passed away at Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice on Thursday, September 21, 2023, surrounded by her family.

Born in Lincoln, NE, on January 17, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Ralph and Clara (Hyatt) Wiley.  Beverly was a graduate of Mary D. Bradford High School.

As a dancer in her youth, Beverly met the accordion-player Joseph Fiorini at a local talent show. Love blossomed, and on July 9, 1955, at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, they were united in marriage. Beverly raised her family in Kenosha, WI, retired in Lake Geneva, WI, and resided in Sheboygan Falls, WI, in her later years. When reflecting on raising six children, Beverly laughingly replied, “It was never boring.”

Beverly fondly remembered her time waitressing at Oage Thompson’s Restaurant and working on Kenosha’s bookmobile. Beverly was active in numerous organizations, including the Jaycettes, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Hidden Assets Investment Club, and book clubs.  In addition, she was a volunteer for the Lake Geneva Food Pantry.

She enjoyed dancing, exercising, traveling, genealogy, tennis, cross-country skiing, and following her grandchildren’s activities. Beverly lived with grace, optimism, and a sense of adventure. She loved entertaining, and there was always room for everyone at her table. She had a flair for fashion and an eye for design. Beverly used her many talents as co-owner of The Finishing Touch in Kenosha.

Beverly was blessed with a large circle of friends, including the women from “Club,” who were with her throughout her life.

Above all, Beverly loved spending time with her family. Left to cherish her life are her children, Laura M. Fiorini, Joseph R. (Michelle) Fiorini, Michael Fiorini, Kathleen (Keith) Musha, David (Laura L.) Fiorini and Tony Fiorini; her grandchildren, Nichole (Derek) Venegas, Dominic (Lindsay) Fiorini, Angela (Zachary) Geiger and Michael, Giovanni, and Sofia Fiorini; her great-grandchildren, Joseph, Vincent, Emerson, Paisley, and Lola.

In addition to her parents, Beverly was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Joseph Fiorini; her grandson, Joseph Brewer; and her sister, Wuanita Butler.
