elevated gNkbl Obituary
It is with heavy hearts and a profound sense of loss that we announce the passing of Beverley Ricci (née Elder) on September 23, 2024, at Markham Stouffville Hospital at the age of 76. Beloved wife of 53 years to Tony. Loving mother of Julianne (Darren), Rob (Kari), Christina, and Darren (Anastasia). Proud grandmother of Alisha, Katelyn, Cameron, and Abigail.
Beverley grew up in the Riverdale neighbourhood of Toronto, and met Tony, the love of her life, in high school at Riverdale Collegiate Institute. After graduating from Toronto East General School of Nursing in 1970, Beverley dedicated her life to caring for others as a Registered Nurse. She was an incredibly compassionate, loving, and generous person who always put others ahead of herself. She enjoyed reading and knitting, and took great pride in making handmade baby blankets and accessories for her loved ones. Beverley loved relaxing at the family cottage at Rice Lake, watching reality television and baseball (she always rooted for the Toronto Blue Jays), and practicing yoga with her friends. Beverley had a keen eye for spotting wild asparagus and often went asparagus “hunting” with her husband. She had a particular fondness of donkeys and was a proud “fur grandma” to Bunny and many kitties. Beverley was a beautiful person inside and out; always elegant and gracefully put together. She often used the expression “look good, feel good!”
Beverley will be sadly missed and held dear in the hearts of her many extended family and friends. She will be lovingly remembered and never forgotten.
Your thoughts and kindness are truly appreciated during this time of sorrow.
In lieu of flowers, donations in honour of Beverley can be made to the PrimRose Donkey Sanctuary.

Beverly was always a gracious, beautiful person, both inside and out. Always generous in her kind words and actions, always with an inviting, warm smile. She and Tony were an inseparable perfect couple – and raised a beautiful family of four with great attention and pride.
We knew her for more than 53 precious years, and we will miss her terribly.
May she rest in eternal peace, with love, and condolences,
John & Anita Borovilos
Expressing my deepest condolences and keeping the entire family in my thoughts and prayers. Sending love, see you in a few days.
I met Bev in nursing trading at Toronto East General and thought she always looked the epitome of the perfect nurse.
When I think of Bev, I think of gentle. A gentle voice, a gentle smile, and a gentle attitude. Her gentleness will live on with me.
We have been neighbors with Bev and Tony for over 30 years. Over the years, Bev has always been the one with the warm greetings, bright and cheerful smile. We will sorely miss her! Our thoughts and prayers are with Tony and family. May God’s blessings see you through this difficult time. Rest in peace, Bev!
My Deepest condolences to Family and friends, May her soul rest in perfect peace.
