Beverly A. Piotrowski

Beverly A. Piotrowski (née Boelter) passed away peacefully on August 24, 2026, at the age of 80.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 57 years, Craig L. Piotrowski; her daughter, Kristine Ann; and her brothers, Robert and Harland. She is survived by her sons, James (Laura) and David (Ellen); her treasured grandchildren, Maria, Thomas, Michael, and Talia; her sister, Arlene (Larry) Stowe; and her brother, William (Chris) Boelter.
Born in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to Leo and Isabel Boelter, Beverly graduated from Oshkosh West High School in 1963 and later built a respected career as a paralegal at a Waukesha law firm, where her meticulous nature and steady presence earned the trust of colleagues and clients alike.
Beverly’s hands were rarely still—she poured her creativity and care into knitting, crocheting, needlework, and crafting prayer shawls. A founding member of the Prayer Shawl Ministry at Galilee Lutheran Church in Pewaukee, she stitched comfort into each shawl she made. Her faith was steadfast, though not without challenge. After losing Craig, Beverly carried the weight of grief with quiet determination.
Family was the heart of Beverly’s world. She delighted in time spent with her grandchildren— sharing joy each Christmas Eve game night, cheering them on as they competed in sports and achieved life milestones, enjoying an ice-cold Coke over lunch out, playing cribbage, swapping books, and baking and decorating cookies together. Her “secret-recipe” chocolate chip cookies became a family legend. Beverly showed her love by sharing her hand made knitted gifts and baked goods.
She was also a proud Wisconsin sports fan, cheering on the Packers, Brewers, and Bucks with enthusiasm and spirited commentary.
Beverly lived a life defined not by grand gestures, but by small acts of love. Her legacy lives on in the traditions she created and the family she cherished.
A Celebration of Life in her honor is planned for October 3, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. at Galilee Lutheran Church, N24 W26430 Crestview Dr., Pewaukee, WI 53072.
Donations in Beverly‘s memory may be made to the landscape refresh project care of Galilee Lutheran Church and N24 W26430 Crestview Dr., Pewaukee, WI 53072.
