Obituary of Beverly G. Ebert

BEVERLY G. EBERT, 82, of Jefferson, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 17, 2019, surrounded by her family at the Rainbow Hospice Inpatient Center in Johnson Creek. 

She was born on March 6, 1937, in Watertown, to Alfred and Hattie (Borck) Miller.  She lived in Jefferson all her life and attended Jefferson High School. 

On August 8, 1954, she married Robert Ebert at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jefferson. He preceded her in death on September 5, 2004. 

She and Robert owned and operated the Mexi-Hot Drive-In in Jefferson. She was also employed at Schweiger Industries, retiring there after 43 years. Bev was an avid Milwaukee Brewer, Green Bay Packer, Matt Kenseth and NASCAR fan. She enjoyed many road trips to look for deer and see the fall colors, with many stops at the Amish stores along the way. She enjoyed her scratch-off lottery tickets and stopping in at the area casinos. She was strong in her faith and her family was her pride and joy. She was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Jefferson.

Bev will be deeply missed and is survived by her son, Alan Ebert of Jefferson; her granddaughters, Michelle (Travis) Smith and Angela Tully both of Jefferson; and her great-grandchildren, Traven, Abigail, and Hunter Smith and Brandon and Owen Tully, all of Jefferson. She is also survived by her sister, Deloris Kakuschky of Jefferson; sister-in-law Karen (George) Oestreich of Watertown; and special friends, Jean (William) Rudolph and Toby Tully, both of Jefferson; along with nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends.

Bev was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 50 years, Robert Ebert; and her siblings, Verna (Robert) Stroebel, Jeanette (Edwin) Staude, Hilbert (Joyce) Miller, and Bernhardt (June) Miller.

Services will be held at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, October 24, 2019, at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jefferson with the Rev. Joshua Martin and Rev. Mark O. Bartsch officiating. Burial will follow at Union Cemetery.  Relatives and friends may gather at the church on Thursday from 9:30 a.m. until the time of services.
