Beverley Fee McCracken Widdowson

Beverley Fee McCracken Widdowson had her faith become sight on September 15, 2022, surrounded by her loving family at her daughter’s home. Mom lived most of her life in Bergen and was a 1955 graduate of Byron-Bergen Central School. She married Ronald McCracken on February 9, 1957. Together they raised 5 girls. Mom and Dad loved the Lord, serving Him, and turning strangers into friends. They also enjoyed entertaining, fixing breakfast at a park, having their grandkids spend the weekend, going to Muckdog games, and visiting the Outer Banks with family and friends. Mom was happiest when taking care of someone, supplying a meal, giving a ride, and sending a handmade card. Mom loved to sew clothes for her girls and enjoyed doing paper crafts, painting ceramics, making dolls, baking, gardening, reading, and studying the Bible. She was employed at P. W. Minor & Sons. After Dad passed away in 2011, Mom missed having a companion and someone to care for. She married M. Eugene Widdowson on April 2, 2013.
