Beverly Joan Denk (Haueser), age 95, passed away peacefully at her apartment home at the Neillsville Community Center on December 1, 2023. Beverly was born in Greenwood, WI on February 11, 1928, to George and Alma (Erickson) Haueser. She attended Greenwood schools and was married on June 23, 1948, to Bernard Denk. During her lifetime, Bev worked at the Greenwood Co-op, Farmers’ Store, Greenwood Legion Hall, F&M Bank and the Greenwood City Hall.  Beverly is survived by her three sons Dennis (Connie) Denk, Steven (Patti) Denk, and Russell (Linda) Denk; her two daughters Debra Swiggum and Marla (Edward) Ruano; and several grandchildren and great grandchildren. Beverly was preceded in death by her husband of 64 years, Bernard Denk; sisters Audrey (Wilbur) Kehrberg and Joyce (Merle) Hales; brother Garth (Jean) Haueser; granddaughter Lauren Swiggum; and grandson Mitchell Denk.

Beverly was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother and a friend to so many. She enjoyed walking, reading, playing cards, garage sales, attending church services, and sharing laughs over cocktails with friends and family. Beverly lived her life unselfishly, always looking for things she could do for the church and others.  A small funeral service will be held for family only, followed by a Celebration of Life for all family and friends at a later date.
