Obituary of Beverley Maciborsky "nee Kravik"

BEVERLEY ANN MACIBORSKY "nee Kravik" February 26, 1951 - August 28, 2016 Beverley passed away on Sunday, August 28, 2016 in Camrose, at the age of 65. The last two months of her life were spent at St. Mary's Hospital in Palliative care, where she was treated with compassion and care by the staff. Beverley was born to Edwin and Marion Kravik on February 26, 1951 in Camrose, Alberta. She was raised on a farm near Dorenlee; along with her three sisters and two brothers. On May 23, 1970 she married Bryan Maciborsky in Camrose. Together they had three children; Lorna, Todd, and Jalene. While raising their family, Bev and Bryan enjoyed moving to various places in Alberta. In 1987 they moved to Vermilion, Alberta. It was on their acreage they enjoyed country life together. Bev enjoyed tending to her garden, playing with her grandchildren, watching the hummingbirds visit her bird feeder by the window, and visiting at numerous gatherings with friends. In 2005, they sold their acreage and moved to Camrose. Her faith and strong hope in the resurrection provided great comfort to her in 2014 when she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and then again in 2016. Bev displayed great faith and dignity as she managed her illness; she truly was an encouragement to others. Her love for her husband, children, and grandchildren was abundant. Bev was a private person, yet was known for her kind, easy-going manner. Her big heart and tender laugh will be greatly missed by all who knew her well. She will be sadly missed by her loving husband of 46 years, Bryan; her children Lorna (Ron), Todd, and Jalene; two grandchildren Romyn and Miranda; her mother Marion; and her sisters and brothers. Bev was predeceased by her father Edwin. A funeral service was held at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 from the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 5201-46 Street, Camrose, with Brett Quartly officiating. Interment has taken place in the Camrose Cemetery.
