Beverly Ann (Piatt) Karlik, 80

WILMINGTON - Beverly Ann (Piatt) Karlik of Wilmington passed away Friday, June 8, 2007, at home, surrounded by family and loved ones. She was 80.

Beverly was born July 27, 1926, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

She was a well known beautician for Ina"s French Hair Styling, Wilmington, and Rehoboth Beach for many years. She was also employed at Ye Old Jewel Shop in Rehoboth Beach before retiring.

Beverly had a great love for the beach and resided in Rehoboth Beach for many years before retiring to Wilmington.

She loved life to the fullest and had a way of turning even a difficult situation around to find some humor in it. "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine," (Proverbs 17:22) describes Beverly perfectly. For she spread her good cheer and laughter to everyone she met.

Beverly will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved her. Her many acts of kindness and caring ways will live long in our memories.

During the last eight years of her life, she was cared for by Bayada nurses and home health aides. Their love and compassion made it possible for Beverly to enjoy her last days at home with dignity.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Joseph; her brother, Earle; and two sisters, Ellen and Gloria.

She is survived by her son, Eugene Jr. and his wife Monika Karlik of Marshalls Creek, Pa.; two daughters and their husbands, Jo and Steve Melson of Wilmington, with whom she resided for the past 17 years, and Gail and Richard Smith of Milton; four grandchildren, Kenneth Melson, Shane Karlik, Patience Karlik and Phillip Ingram Jr.; six great grandchildren; three nephews; and two nieces.

Burial will be private. A celebration of Beverly"s life will be planned at a later date for friends and family.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made in Beverly"s name to Bayada Nurses, c/o Ginny Gotides, 750 S. Madison St., Suite 100, Wilmington, DE 19801.

Arrangements by Strano & Feeley Family Funeral Home, New Castle.
