The Family has our deepest sympathy. Erv and Bev are fondly remembered.

Beverly Sengelaub was our aunt as she was married to our mother’s (Neomia S. Bubert) brother, Erwin. My favorite memory of Aunt Bev took place around 1960 on Christmas Eve in the Evangelical United Brethen (EUB) of Reed City, before the merger with the Methodist church. Near the end of the Christmas Eve service, all the names of the children were called out to come up to the altar to receive a gift. Imagine the surprise of my siblings and me to have had our names called out. We lived in the Chicago suburbs and were spending the Christmas holiday with our mother’s family in Reed City and definitely were not expecting to have our names mentioned let alone received a gift. Aunt Bev, in my opinion was the original Secret Santa.
Thank you Aunt Bev. God be with you until we meet again.
With love,
Mary Beth Bubert
