CAMBRIDGE - Beverly Joan Abbott, proudly and peacefully joined hands with her Lord and Savior in journey to her heavenly home on Sat., Feb. 21, 2015 at 11:11 a.m. after a short illness at UMSMC at Dorchester. "Bev" was born to the late Charlotte Magee Lucas in Philadelphia, Pa., on Apr. 5th, 1933 and lived there until moving to Cambridge with her mother and step father Frank Lucas in the early 40's where she later graduated from Cambridge Senior High School. She married her beloved husband of 60 years, Harold Lloyd Abbott after stealing his heart and baseball cap from him at a ball field in Robbins. She often said "He was the prettiest thing I had ever seen!" Harold preceded her in death on Feb. 8th, 2012. Bev began her working career as a seamstress at Rob Roy Shirt Factory, an employee for many years at Western Publishing Company and finally retiring from Cambridge Airpax Electronics 18 years ago. Since her retirement she had immersed herself in her church family and friends at The Greater Works Christian Assembly of Cambridge, and her family. She enjoyed fishing, traveling, knitting and crocheting, singing and playing guitar, and her family. She was preceded in death by a granddaughter, Michal Jodi Abbott.
