BEVERLY ANN ROSS

FERRISBURGH — Beverly Ann Ross passed away April 14, 2025, at her home, with her daughter and granddaughter by her side. She was born Dec. 25, 1940, daughter of Henry and Francis Kandzior.

She is predeceased by her husband of 45 years, Charles Henry Ross; her parents Henry and Francis (Abare) Kandzior; her beloved brother, Gerald Kandzior; sister Lori Kandzior; brother-in-law John Jerdo; and sister-in-law Diane (Osgood) Kandzior.

She is survived by her beloved daughter, Kimberly; cherished granddaughter Chelsea (Jesse) Bashaw and great-granddaughter Chloe; as well as her siblings, Reginald Kandzior, Theresa (Harold) Charbonneau, Henry Kandzior, Karen (Richard) Ethier, Florence Jerdo, Loren (Debbie) Kandzior, Sheryl (Carl) Lavigne and many special nieces and nephews.

Beverly was a very talented, courageous, determined and kind-hearted woman who dedicated her life to her family, the homestead, and working part time cutting meat at a local butcher. She loved being outside and spent many hours in her flower, fruit, and vegetable gardens. Then she spent numerous hours inside canning and making preserves, as well as teaching others the fine art. She was an awesome cook, with an emphasis on desserts as she had a sweet tooth.

Her love for animals and birds was displayed as she and her husband raised German Shorthaired Pointers and pheasants. In her later years, she fed and watched the birds on her back deck, even a couple turkeys jumped up to visit and eat.

But most of all, Bev loved her granddaughter and great-granddaughter and just seeing them always brought a smile to her face!

She will be greatly missed by all. A celebration of life will be held at the Ferrisburgh Town hall on Saturday, May 17, at 1:30 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Homeward Bound, Addison County Humane Society, 236 Boardman St., Middlebury, VT 05753. ◊
