Beverly “Bev” Ann Foss

Age 79, of Oak Creek, entered heaven on April 10, 2026.

Bev was born on July 30, 1946, to the late Thomas and Aldine (nee Nockleby) Schwarzinger. She graduated from Whitnall High School.

On June 21, 1975, Bev married the love of her life, Gene Foss. The two would spend the rest of their lives together, celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in 2025. Gene and Bev would rarely be apart, and together they would raise Sharon Simes, Tamyra Foss, Terry Foss, and Paul Haller.

Bev worked a majority of her adult life in Oak Creek at The Klondike Tap, Barricade Flasher, and Eder Flag.

Bev enjoyed being outside in her yard with Gene gardening, planting, and caring for what would be a praiseworthy mini-arboretum. Bev also thoroughly enjoyed family and friends stopping by to share a comforting bonfire, and a cocktail.

Bev is survived by her forever love Gene, daughters Sharon (Randy) Simes, Tamyra Foss, sons Terry (Chrissy) Foss, Paul (Angela) Haller, and her many grandchildren, nephews and nieces.  Additionally, her brothers James Schwarzinger, Daniel (Tina) Schwarzinger, Richard (Sheryl) Schwarzinger, as well as her brothers-in-law Harvey (Judy) Foss, Roger (Linda) Foss, and sisters-in-law Kathy Hooks, and Sharon Helmer.

Bev is in heaven with her dear grandson Peyton Haller, as well as her parents Thomas and Aldine Schwarzinger, her sisters Barbara Gutknecht and Sandy Schwarzinger, sister-in-law Cynthia Schwarzinger, brothers-in-law Gerald Hooks and Ron Helmer, and her mother and father-in-law Robert and Laura Foss.

Family and friends are invited to attend a memorial service April 21, 2026, 12:30p.m., in the Chapel at Forest Hill Memorial Park in Oak Creek, Wi.

Heritage Funeral Homes is assisting the family with arrangements.

    Bev was one of my favorite people, and I missed her so much when she retired from Eder. Please accept my condolences and prayers.

    i had the Honor of knowing Bev and Gene (AKA Brandon) Joke between us.
    Meeting at Oak Creek Lions Fest with bloody Mary’s and watching the Neil Diamond Tribute.
    They brought me into their family functions, Bday Parties and Their Anniversary Party.
    They played a big part in helping with my wedding.
    I can’t tell you how much I will miss your beautiful face Bev and hope you are at peace.
    I love you.
