Selinsgrove - Beverley Ann Balzano Owens, 67, has taken the best seat in heaven. She peacefully passed Sunday, Oct. 5, 2025, with her husband Patrick and family by her side. She was born in Charleston, West Virginia, on Feb. 21, 1958, to Robert Eugene Balzano and Eleanor Ruth (McNulty) Balzano. She married Patrick Joseph Owens on Aug. 27, 1976, and recently celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary.

Beverley's early years were spent in West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, and eventually Pennsylvania. She was a graduate of Bishop Carroll High School in Ebensburg, Pennsylvania and completed coursework at Penn State Altoona.

Beverley apprenticed as a tailor eventually opening a business in Cambria County. In the mid-80s, Beverley relocated to Selinsgrove opening Beverley's in Downtown Selinsgrove. Serving the community for almost 40 years, her work and style is woven into community spaces, streetscapes, murals, businesses, and private homes. She expanded her signature style into our family's beloved Triple Creek Lodge in Millheim, Pennsylvania where she envisioned and created a welcoming space for all.

Beverley was a force like no other, often referred to as "Badass," was driven to serve others, and provided a seat at the dinner table for people from all walks of life. She had an incredible way of connecting the dots with people, places and things. Life won't be the same, but traditions will remain with family dinners, making ravioli, cannolis and limoncello, baseball games, saving buildings, music, travel and any adventures we create. In the end, memories are what carry us forward. "It's not the length of life, but the depth of life," Emerson.

Surviving are husband Patrick; daughter, Bobbie Jean Owens (Jeff Ries) and son Joshua Caleb Owens (Megan); four beautiful grandchildren, Ian (Emily), Evalin, Louis, and Porter; siblings Belinda Passanita (Tony), Robert "Jim" Balzano (Pennie), and Jane Caretti (Arnold), mother Eleanor Balzano-Cree; nieces Maria, Bindie, Toni Marie, Victoria, Rebekah, Rachael and nephew Isaac. She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Maurice and Jane McNulty, Vito and Josephine Balzano; her father Robert (Bobby B) Eugene Balzano, and nephew Dominic Robert Balzano.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the circle of friends who quietly shared this journey with us, overwhelmed us with love, and celebrated life along the way.
