Beverly Jane Tassone (Hill) passed away September 8, 2019 surrounded by family. She was born on September 29, 1938 in Rhinebeck, New York. Bev served as a nurse in the U.S. Army, then later at Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital. Her hobbies included knitting, sewing, baking, and canning, which she shared with family, friends, and her community. Lucky you, if you have one of her beautiful hand knit baby sweaters or tasted her wonderful Christopsomo bread! Bev loved to volunteer at local organizations and was a passionate advocate for others. She will always be remembered for her perseverance, feistiness, and strength. Bev is survived by her six children: Louie (Wendy), Marilyn (Dave), Angela (David), Antonina (Galen), Francis (Dawn) and Margaret (Chad); Grandchildren: Graham, Drake, Colby, Blake, Brooke, Frank, Joseph, Alexis, Ava and Ethan; Great grandchildren: Asher and Odin. She was preceded in death by husband Louis, son-in-law David Deatrick (Angela), and other family members. We express our sincere gratitude to those who provided care and friendship to Bev. Those who desire may make a donation in Bev’s memory to FREED Center for Independent Living in Grass Valley. There will be a memorial mass in Grass Valley at Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church on Saturday, September 14, at 10:30am. Reception to follow at Gold Miners Inn.
