Beverly McGroarty

Beverly McGroarty, Receptionist

Beverly grew up on the West Side of Cleveland but after her marriage to Jack, the couple moved to Euclid where they established a business, Upson Shell, at the corner of East 260 and Lakeland Boulevard. Jack and Bev raised their seven children in St. William Parish where all were baptized and received the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.  Raising the children in the Catholic faith was important to this couple as was having family good times.  Bev, now widowed, still thrives on having fun.  In fact, she still continues the tradition (begun in 1939) of going to Cedar Point for at least one day, but preferably one full week each year. When it comes to her Catholic Faith, Bev derives much consolation from our belief in the Communion of Saints.  This belief reminds her that she is in touch will the Communion of the Church, living and deceased. One more interesting fact about Bev:  she will soon be accepted as an Associate of the Sisters of Notre Dame!
