Obituary

Beverly Ann (Boucher) Hartnett, of Ware, Massachusetts, born on March 3, 1954, passed away peacefully on July 19, 2026. She is now reunited in heaven with her beloved husband and the love of her life, David P. Hartnett.

Beverly is survived by her son, Benjamin R. Lanier and his wife, Bobbi-Jean Lanier; her daughter, Elizabeth A. (Lanier) Gorman and her partner Steven Robert; her sister, Beth E. (Boucher) Pelletier; her sister-in-law, Claudia Boucher; her stepdaughter, Lisa Lovelace and her husband, Jeremy; her stepson, Doug Hartnett; and her cousins, Barbara Palubeckis, Mary Meyer, and Karen Moe.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Helen and Richard Boucher, and her brother, David Boucher, each of whom held a special place in her heart.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Beverly treasured her family above all else. Her boundless love, generous spirit, and warm hospitality made everyone feel welcome in her home. Affectionately known as "Nana" and "Bubby," she embraced not only her own family but also anyone fortunate enough to know her. Her son, Ben, and daughter, Elizabeth, were the center of her world from the very beginning. She was their fiercest supporter, their safe place, and their greatest source of unconditional love. Through every joy and every challenge, she stood beside them with unwavering strength, endless encouragement, and an open heart. The values she instilled, the memories she created, and the love she shared will remain with them always.

Beverly approached life with joy and enthusiasm. She delighted in seafood dinners, searching for lady's slippers, savoring lollipops, and spending quiet moments with her beloved cat, Lilly. Her kindness, laughter, and compassionate heart touched countless lives and created lasting memories for all who knew her.

Her greatest joy was her grandchildren, who were truly the light of her life: Benjamin J. Lanier, Devin Gorman, Julianna Gorman, Shea Lanier, Brendan Gorman, Caleb Gorman, Brooke Weigand, Kira Malloy, and Chase Wilson. She also held a special place in her heart for her nieces, Erin (Boucher) Kelley, Samantha Pelletier, and Ashley Pelletier, whom she cherished as if they were her own daughters.

Beverly's neighbors, Chris Hardy and Gina Forni, along with her dear friend Robyn Crawford, shared many cups of coffee, conversations, and laughter with her. They, along with the many lives she touched, will remember her with great affection.

Private services will be held by the family. A celebration of Beverly's life will take place at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor and remember the remarkable woman whose love, kindness, and generous spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
