Beverly’s family traveled during her elementary years and settled in New Canaan, CT where she graduated from high school in 1950. She worked for New Canaan Savings Bank as a teller.
Beverly married Howard on her 22nd birthday in 1954 in New Canaan. They moved to Stamford in 1959. They were happily married for 59 years. Bev was a homemaker while her children were young and returned to work as a bank teller, and various clerical positions until she retired. After retirement she enjoyed her time as a volunteer at Stamford Hospital and as a grandmother and a friend to many.
Beverly is survived by her children, Karen Jones of Stamford, Scott Ackerly and his wife Maria of Lexington, SC, and grandchildren, Matt Jones, Oscar Figueroa, Curtis Ackerly, Kelly Ackerly and great-grandchildren, Adrianna and Michael Figueroa, brother Lloyd Cook Jr of Bridgewater Corners, Vermont, sister Charlotte Pellegrino of Norwalk CT, her aunt Olive Harlow, nieces and nephews and many cousins.
Beverly was preceded in death by her husband Howard, her parents and her sister, Glenna Stanton.
Visitation hours will be held at Leo P. Gallagher & Son Funeral Home, 2900 Summer Street, Stamford, on Saturday March 24th from 10a.m. to 12 noon. A service will immediately follow. As this is a celebration of life, family requests to dress casual, as bright colors as you feel appropriate.
Memorial donations be made to a charity of one’s own choice. Condolences may be left on Beverly Ackerly’s online guest book at leopgallagherstamford.com
