Beverly Stone Holzman

Holzman, Beverly Stone, 94, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. Beloved wife of the late Sidney G. Holzman. Devoted mother of Fern Hammer and her husband Craig, and James Holzman and his wife Beth. Dear grandmother, Mimi, to Joseph, Lauren, Lauren’s husband Justin, Sydney, Maya and Chase.

Born in Brockton, MA, Beverly lived a life marked by dedication to her family, and a deep commitment to helping others. After losing her father at age 8, Beverly was so fortunate to have had Uncles that stepped in to help raise her. As Beverly was an only child, her cousins became her sibling and surrounded her with constant love and joy. Whether she was knitting, making art, playing Mahjong, or offering a listening ear, she touched countless lives with her loving presence.

Beverly spent her life endlessly volunteering her time for organizations that were important to her and the community, one of the most notable being the Brandeis National Committee. As one of the founding members of Temple Beth Avodah, she devoted many years on the Board and never missed a Friday night service.

Beverly was known for her warmth, kindness, humor, and boundless generosity. There was nobody better at keeping a secret and her friendships were extremely important to her. If you were lucky enough to be in her circle; you knew it. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 11am at Temple Beth Avodah, 45 Puddingstone Lane, Newton, MA, followed by a gathering at the Clubhouse at Ledgebrook at 235 Nahanton St, Newton, MA from 12pm until 4pm, 5:30pm until 7pm and Monday from 4pm until 7pm. A private burial was held on Wednesday, October 2, at Sharon Memorial Park. Donations in honor of Beverly may be made to Temple Beth Avodah.
