Beverly R. Raitto

Her parents, James and Esther (Gregory) Webster, welcomed their daughter into the world on October 24, 1941, in Keene, NH. Beverly grew up in Keene and was a 1959 graduate of Keene High School.

She married her "Ever-Love", Harold N. Raitto, in Manchester, NH on November 24, 1960. The couple created many wonderful memories together for 61 years until his passing on June 13, 2022.

After raising her five children, Beverly began a work career outside of her home in retail sales as the department manager of the snack bar and later as floor manager at Walmart, for twenty-one years.

Beverly enjoyed going to yard sales and taking many fun trips to do some shopping. She loved volunteering at the Keene Senior Center Thrift Store, giving her many wonderful opportunities to assist many with their individual needs, and to create great conversations with many as well.

She loved going to the beach. Family time meant the world to Beverly and she loved her family with all of her heart. She was fondly known by her grandchildren as "G-MA" and "GG-MA" by her great-grandchildren, a role that formed many special bonds and created many wonderful memories together. Beverly had a special place in her heart for Rascal, her Pomeranian.

She will be greatly missed by many, especially her children, Robert B. Raitto and his wife, Brenda of Windsor, VA, Dorreen J. Raitto, of Keene, Lianne S. Therrien and her husband, Rob, of Swanzey, NH, Heidi J. Novobilsky and her husband, Rick, of McCormick, SC, Stacey N.

A brother, Robert Webster; two brothers-in-law, Arthur Raitto and Roy Longever; and two sisters-in-law, Dee Raitto and Diane Raitto, predeceased her.
