Beverly Ann Weredyk......"Grandma PoleCat"

With hearts full of love, gratitude, and sadness, we announce the passing of our cherished mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend, Beverly Ann Weredyk, affectionately known as "Grandma PoleCat. Beverly passed away peacefully on November 5, 2026, at the age of 88, surrounded by the family she loved so dearly.

Beverly described herself as a feisty little lady. She was a strong, spirited, and determined woman whose greatest joy was her family. She faced life with courage, laughter, and an open heart, leaving a legacy of love, strength, and resilience that will continue to inspire all who knew her.

Growing up in the small town of Paullina, Iowa, Beverly often spoke fondly of her childhood and the values it instilled in her. She later moved to Colorado, where she met the love of her life and began the adventure of being a military wife. Together, they built a life filled with hard work, travel, and countless memories.

Beverly found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She loved tending to her flower gardens, even while jokingly complaining about the chickens and ducks that wandered through and disrupted her carefully planted blooms. Despite their mischief, she loved her feathered companions. A woman of many talents, Beverly enjoyed decorating, sewing, painting, puzzles, traveling, and spending time at the lake.

She was especially proud of her role as a grandmother and great-grandmother. Known for her quick wit, creativity, and adventurous spirit she was always ready for a new adventure. She embraced every opportunity to create memories with the people she loved. Her enthusiasm, sense of humor, and willingness to try just about anything made her a joy to be around.

Beverly was also a talented and successful businesswoman. What began as a passion for refinishing furniture grew into a thriving family business. Alongside her husband, she traveled extensively throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia in search of antiques and hidden treasures. Their shared passion eventually became Memory Lane Antiques on Bay Street in Savannah, GA. They built not only a business but a lifetime of stories and friendships.

Her love, laughter, and strength touched everyone who knew her and will remain in our hearts forever.

Beverly is survived by her children, John Hill (Joan), Deanne Rose, Tim Weredyk (Tammy), and Doug Weredyk (Elly) two step sons, Jim Wirt (Trish), Randy Wirt; her grandchildren, Casey Weredyk, Ryan Weredyk (Casey Leigh), Cole Ashley, Caeman Weredyk (Alyssa), Aubrie Weredyk (Cole), Carter Rose, Stacey Morrison (Courtney), and Misty Connelly; and her beloved great-grandchildren, Jack Weredyk, Lakelyn, Lennox, Londyn, Lylah Weredyk, Henry DeGeorge, Jocelynn Cochran, August Connelly, Kyler Lee, and Shelby Morrison.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmie Weredyk; her parents, William and Elma Gaudian; her brothers, Ron, Al, and Wilfred; and her sisters, Elaine and Val.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at Strickland Funeral Home in Springfield, Georgia. A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at Bible Lutheran Church in Rincon, Georgia.
