Beverly Louise Easley Arner, 92 , formerly of Center Township, passed away on Wednesday, July 3, 2025, at the Passavant Community’s Abundant Life Building in Zelienople, where she had made her home for the past two and a half years. Beverly’s journey began in Kittanning, a town that would always hold a special place in her heart.

She was a daughter of the late Charles J. and Josephine C. (Rumbaugh) Easley and she was born in 1933. Her life was one of warmth, love, and dedication, traits she inherited from her family. The bonds of matrimony united her with Paul Alan Arner on April 11th, 1953, in Worthington and together they built a life filled with joy, laughter, and adventure until his passing on June 5th, 2016. Beverly’s legacy is carried on by her cherished family. She was the proud mother of five children: Jeffrey (Barbara) Arner of Idaho, Ronald (Susan) Arner of Erie, Pennsylvania, Nancy (Wayne) Young of Fombell, Edward (Deborah) Arner of Pittsburgh, and Mark (Mezel) Arner of Center Township. Her grandchildren, Robin, Danielle, Jesse, Cheryl, Melyssa, Sarah and Samuel, brought her immeasurable happiness, as did her great-grandchildren, Brandon and Nicole. She is also survived by her sister, Linda (George) Kerr, her nephew, Bill and her niece, Becky.

Beverly’s formative years were spent on her grandparents’ campground, Buffalo Valley “Yellow Dog” Park and attended school in Worthington for the first eight grades before graduating from Kittanning High School. Her work life was as varied as it was fulfilling, starting with her role for an attorney, Peter Calarie, in Kittanning. Following her marriage, Beverly moved to Beaver Valley, where she worked as a secretary at the Beaver Valley Mall and later as an executive secretary with HAP Enterprises.

She was an active member of the North Branch Presbyterian Church, serving as a deacon and participating in the church bowling league. Her community involvement extended to her membership in the Aliquippa BPOE Auxiliary and a 500 Bid card club. Beverly’s kind and generous spirit was evident not only in her religious and community service but also in her personal interests.

Beverly and Paul shared a love for travel that saw them visiting all 50 states, camping in numerous national parks, and enjoying several cruises. Friday nights were a cherished tradition, as the couple would meet with friends for dinner and card games. Beverly also found joy in creating beautiful ceramics, a testament to her artistic spirit.

Friends will be received on Tuesday, July 8th from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca, where funeral services will be held in Wednesday, July 9th at 10 a.m. Interment will follow adjacent to her late husband in Sylvania Hills Memorial Park, 273-PA 68, Rochester.
