Beverly Jean Mascara – Belle Vernon

By obits

 

Beverly Jean Mascara, of Belle Vernon, passed away at her home on March 27, 2022, with her family by her side. She was preceded in death by her father, William Mascara; mother, Elsie Mascara; and son, Jeffery Lukas. She is survived, in love, by her brother, Phil Mascara; and her daughters, Tammy Barron, Kim Venneri, Amy Lukas and Gigi Signorello-Payne. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Beverly lived in Belle Vernon before moving to Florida in 1989, followed by a subsequent move to South Carolina in 2018 to be closer to her family. After graduating from Robert Morris University, she worked at Westinghouse, Lukas Auto Body, Corning, Genesis, Disney, Epcot and the State of Florida, as well as the Presbyterian Church. She devoted much of her time and energy as a caregiver to family members, including her mother, until she passed away at age 105. Her greatest love, above all, was her family, and all her children were proud to call her mom. Beverly had a servant’s heart and lived by 1 Peter 4:10: “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” Dedicating her life to the Lord Jesus Christ, Beverly was baptized in the Jordan River in 2019. A life celebration will be held at a later date. Interment was in Belle Vernon Cemetery. Local arrangements have been entrusted to FERGUSON FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY INC., 700 Broad Ave., Belle Vernon, 724-929-5300, www.FergusonFuneralHomeandCrematory.com. The family requests those who wish to express sympathy to consider donating to Hospice of the Upstate, Anderson, S.C., in Beverly’s name.
