Lynne Beverly

Springfield, VT- Lynne Kathryn Beverly of Springfield, Vermont passed on April 4, 2026, after a brief illness.

Lynne was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey in 1942, daughter of Margaret Pulis Beverly and Peter A. Beverly, and grew up in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

She graduated from Ridgewood High School class of 1960, received her undergraduate degree from Dominican College and her master’s degree from New York University.

Her nursing career included employment at Blythedale Children’s Hospital, The Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospitals for NY State and several years as a nurse at Ascutney Hospital in Vermont.

In the mid-1980’s, Lynne moved to Jamaica, Vermont where she and her former husband opened The Gallery at Jamaica. With an eye for beauty and talent, Lynne represented an impressive array of artists, including Josh Simpson, Keith Hoffman and Robert O’Brien. Her home was filled with art, a collection that focused on botanical images; her home was a riot of flowers. An artist in her own right, Lynne’s medium was embroidery, creating magic with fine stitchery. Her crocheted blankets were wrapped around a generation of babies. Kids called her “Dr. Lin Lin” and asked for her counsel when feeling unwell.

She loved a mean ole cat named Pete who loved her right back.

Lynne is survived by her dear friend, Jenn Connor and family who adopted her as one of their own, and long- time friend, Gene Marrano. Heartfelt thanks to her neighbor, Ray, who stepped in to lend a steady hand.

A celebration of life will be held in June. Donations in Lynne’s memory may be made to the Springfield Humane Society.

Knight Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements. Condolences may be expressed in an online guestbook found at www.knightfuneralhomes.com
