Beverly T. Berndt, of Antigo, died on February 13, 2024 in her home under the care of her five daughters and LeRoyer Hospice. She was 86 years old. She was born on September 19, 1937 in Antigo, a daughter of Alvin and Mable (Nonnemacher) Tillman. She married the love of her life, Lyle Berndt on November 17, 1956 at St. John Catholic Church.

She was a graduate of Antigo High School, class of 1956. Bev worked at Farmers Home Restaurant as a waitress for 41 years. She was a member of St. John Catholic Church.
Bev and Lyle's marriage was special and treasured by her. She often reminisced about the time they spent on their porch swing together. Bev took pride in the way her home looked by her effort of cleaning the house and mowing the lawn. She enjoyed spending time with her daughters and many grandchildren, cooking, going on walks, and listening to country music. Hugs were her thing and you could not come or go without receiving one.

My dear cousin, Bev—I know you were a “bit” older than me but I remember how you did love to hug every body and I remember your girls—I think Debbie borrowed my wedding veil for her wedding. Funny little thing to remember, I know. I wish you rest and peace and know you will be so happy to finally see your mom, dad, brother, and of course, Lyle.🙏
Bevy was one of the sweetest ladies I ever met. Bev and her family have always been very special to me. ♥️🙏
Grandma, you will be dearly missed. With much love from Kevin and Shelly, Sheila and Brandon, Kara and Adam, Danielle and Diana.
