In Loving Memory of Beverly D’Orazio (Morrisroe)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Beverly D’Orazio (Morrisroe) on May 24, 2024, surrounded by her beloved family. She has now joined her parents, Irene Morrisroe (Bassler) and John Morrisroe, in the embrace of heaven. Also awaiting her arrival are her dear brother, John, her niece, Wendy, her nephew, Bradley Crawford, and her best friend, Monica Mason.
As Beverly finds solace in the heavenly realms, we may hear the melodious tunes of the Doobie Brothers playing softly amidst the clouds, for she and Monica now find themselves basking on the eternal shores of a celestial beach. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Ulysses D’Orazio (Nancy), Zachary D’Orazio (Laura), Ashley Bradfield (Frank), and her newly adopted daughter, Jessica Alves dos Santos. The warmth of her affectionate kisses and the tightness of her multiple hugs will forever be missed. Her deviled eggs and potato salad were legendary, a culinary delight that brought joy to family gatherings.
Beverly’s younger sister, Connie Crawford (Fran), who affectionately called her Bevy, will deeply mourn her loss. Her daughter will forever miss the joy of dancing silly to Basia’s tunes in the living room, a cherished memory that will remain etched in her heart. Despite her stature of 4ft 11 inches, Beverly was a force to be reckoned with. Her fierce determination, unwavering stubbornness and unwavering bravery were qualities admired by all who knew her. She had an insatiable love for travel, a deep appreciation for the beauty of beaches, and above all an unbreakable bond with her family. Beverly was blessed with eight wonderful grandchildren, Jake, Luke, Eve, Leo, Chase, Gabe, Bella, and Penny whom she adored with all her heart. Their lives will forever be touched by the love and affection she bestowed upon them. Her presence will be sorely missed.
To our beloved Mom, we want you to know that our love for you knows no bounds. You will forever remain in our hearts, a guiding light in our lives. Rest in eternal peace, dear Beverly. Love you more!
Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home is honored to serve the D’Orazio family.
My thoughts & prayers are with all of you. Your mom was a good time & a lot of laughs. She was such a character & larger than life. It's so hard to believe she's gone. Cherish your memories.
I will miss you asking me all your questions about everything and trying to speak Spanish with me, lol
And I will never forget how somehow you called my first name with no American accent on that Tuesday, lol
I will miss you.
