Beverly (Bev) Ann Felhofer, 81, of the Town of Sevastopol, was called Home to be with the Lord on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 12th, 2018. She was at home with her loving husband, Joseph, by her side. She was born Beverly Ann Metzger on September 24th, 1936 to the late Margaret Ann Metzger in Manitowoc Wisconsin.
Beverly graduated from Lincoln High School in Manitowoc and was proud to share her school cheers with her family whenever she had the chance. On July 19th, 1958, she married Joseph F. Felhofer at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Manitowoc. While raising her three children and grandson, Bev worked outside the home as a housekeeper for Bay Shipbuilding Company corporate offices and as a cook at Glidden Lodge and many other restaurants in Door County.
In 1995, she retired from The Hitching Post as a cook and became a stay at home grandmother once again, where she helped raise her granddaughter. Bev’s greatest joy came from watching her family grow. She enjoyed shopping, reading, word-search puzzles and a good card game with family.
She especially loved watching the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers. Bev is survived by her loving husband of 60 years Joseph F. Felhofer; two sons, Keith “Buck” J.
