Beverly Jane Mandli, 94, passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 3, 2019 surrounded by her loving family. She was born, November 5, 1924 to Frank and Alice (Donovan) Lannoye. She was born, raised and settled in Racine, WI. She attended Washington Park High School, where she met her husband, Peter James Mandli.

On June 23, 1945, Beverly and Peter were married at St. Edward’s Catholic Church in Racine, WI, where they had been life-long parish members. Together, their greatest hope was to enjoy a large family. In June 2015, they celebrated 70 years of marriage together until his passing in October 2015. She was a devout mother who dedicated her entire life to her husband and children. Her favorite past-times were reading, visiting with family, and drives in the country.
