Beverley Luella Gellner
On Friday August 2nd, 2019 at 9:26 in the morning, Beverley Luella Gellner lost her battle with cancer, surrounded by her loving husband and children. She was predeceased by her special grandmother, Luella Coleman (Hutchinson); mother, Doreen Coleman (Hornal); father, William “Pat” Coleman; along with her auntie Doris “Doh” Coleman; Laura Birg; and her two infant twin children, Mark and Micheal Gellner. Beverley is survived by her husband of 43 years, Perry Gellner; her loving children, Shaun Gellner and Erin (Gil) Moreau; grandchildren: Jason (Dorinda) Moreau, Carter Gellner, Ella Moreau, and Karma-Grace Moreau; great-granddaughter, Brylee Moreau; sisters: Patty (Dale) Reinhardt, Kelly (Jamie) Dorge, and Debbie (Blaine) Schick; along with special mentions of Margaret Newton as her best friend for life, and Karen Kozan; as well as numerous nieces, nephews and adopted family. Beverley was born January 26th, 1955 in Mossbank, Saskatchewan during a big Saskatchewan blizzard. She was the oldest of 4 girls, she grew up riding and loving horses from a young age. The family eventually moved to Regina, SK where she met Perry when she was 19. She claimed when they first met that she never liked him much, but their love soon blossomed into a beautiful 43 year relationship that has taught the true definition of love to everyone that has known them. Throughout her life she had many jobs, but her favourite was as a care aid, which was a great love of hers to take care of people. She even owned a nursing home. Bev and Perry’s love created some of Beverley’s greatest loves of her life, her children and grandchildren that she made her life. From the moment Bev became a grandma her heart was forever changed, her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Every child or friend was always welcome in the Gellner home, and goodies and smiles could always be found. The sound of her laughter and the genuine way she made you feel loved and special will be missed. Anyone who knew her knows her door was always open for a coffee and a chat. She had many adopted children and grandchildren that have become family over time. Creating a space in each person’s heart her life touched, leaving a void with her passing. The memories she’s created with each and every one of us will be cherished for all time. We are all greatly saddened by this loss of a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. A Come and Go Celebration of Bev’s Life will be held on Saturday, August 24th, 2019 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the blue building at Dunnet Park in Avonlea, SK. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Michelle Surtees, Funeral Director 306-693-4550.
Condolences to Bev’s family and friends. I would consider Bev one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Not only did Bev have such a friendly and welcoming personality she also had a heart of gold. She was a great support in mine and my children’s lives and heaven is greater place with her there. Although there is sadness in my heart with her passing I am forever grateful that I had the privilege to meet her and have her in my life. I know for a fact that Bev is in heaven looking down and gleaming with love and pride watching her amazing family go forward in life and carry on her memory. I am sending love and well wishes to all of her loved ones!
I wish the whole family my best if wishes on this time if sorrow and heart ache, I will always have a special place in heart for all of you. This past Sunday I lite a candle at our church hear in memory of Bev and said a prayer. I am sorry I will not be able to come. As Nova Scotia is ways away. So God bless this family and keep them strong and give them the strength to remember all the wonderful times they had as a family and that Bev is watching them and waiting.
My condolences to your family bev was an awesome lady and much love and respect for her and you guys at this time of grievances
Thinking of all of you. Sorry I can’t be there that day❤
My best friend has died and my heart is broken. No longer do I have someone who bring me banana bread, cinnamons bun, or spots a deal that you might like. Who is going to phone me every week just to ask me how I am I doing. I call her and she moves the earth for you. Who is there in your darkest moment and helps you out. What am I going to do without you.
Our friendship has expands decades we have be through highs and lows what oh what am I going to do without you. I was suppose to go first never never you.
You are in the arms of the angel now may you find some peace there. See you soon buddy
Sending love and strength your way. I will remember and cherish each memory that I have. The visits and coffee on the deck at the farm, the laughs, the times working together at the manor…. good memories, good times, great woman. She will be dearly missed
