Beverly Fellbaum

Beverly Dawn Fellbaum, 63, Wausau, was welcomed home into the loving arms of our Lord, and her "Mumma" and "Daddy" on Sunday, December 5, 2010.
Beverly was born in Wausau, on March 29, 1947, to the late Edwin and Leona (Mueller) Fellbaum of Marathon.
Beverly graduated from Marathon High School in 1965. After graduation she worked at Marathon County Courthouse, then the Dallas, Texas Courthouse, the ISO Fire Insurance Rating Company, and East Bay until her retirement in 2000.
Beverly was a great fan of country music and loved to travel when she was able. She also loved, and was in turn loved, by her sisters and brothers, and her many nieces and nephews. Young children especially recognized her kind and gentle heart, and were drawn to her. Her faith, and the strength of her convictions, helped see her through many health challenges, as she bravely confronted diabetes and its complications.
As the end of her life drew near, Beverly greatly appreciated her time at the Hospice House in Wausau. She enjoyed the gardens, the beauty of the surroundings, and the loving care she received there. More than once, she said it felt like heaven on earth. Thank you to everyone who shared in her care at Aspirus Hospice House, Wausau, the Wausau Kidney Center, Doctor Pablo Abrego, and Doctor Michael Sheehan. A special thank you to Rev. Terry Reich of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church of Marathon for your kind and faithful attention to her soul.
Buffy, your time with us was all too brief,
And time alone will heal our grief.
But rest assured, as you believed,
When next we meet,
True joy and peace will be achieved.
