Beverly Ann (Romatowski) Bishop, age 85, earned her angel wings January 12, 2020 at Sunset House. Bev was a lifelong Toledo resident. She was a graduate of Central Catholic High School (1952) and enjoyed many special times with her girls’ club. She also attended St. Mary’s College, South Bend, and the University of Toledo. Bev worked for B.R. Baker where she met the love of her life, Tom. She was a homemaker, worked for Packo Foods Catering, and was circulation and data entry manager for the Catholic Chronicle. In recent years, she worked as CFO for Bishop Landscape Inc. Beverly was a charter member of St. Patrick of Heatherdowns Parish and involved in many parish activities including Girl Scouts, Rosary Altar Society, and parish publications. Over the years, Beverly enjoyed traveling with her family, summers at the pool, and attending her children and grandchildren’s music and athletic activities. She was passionate about the University of Notre Dame and loved cheering on the Irish Sports Teams. Bev instilled in her family a love of music, commitment to the Catholic Church, and a sincere appreciation for her rich Polish heritage (especially the food).
