Information via Magner Funeral Home

Beverly Ann Cogswell, 73, of Norwalk died on January 22, 2023. Born in Norwalk, the daughter of the late Courtland E and Elizabeth (Post) LeCates, she was the beloved wife of Harold Cogswell for 54 years.

A lifelong Norwalk resident, Beverly was a school crossing guard at Jefferson Elementary School for over 40 years.

She enjoyed crocheting, sewing, and cooking/baking family recipes. Her greatest enjoyment of all, was her seven grandchildren and her great grandson. She loved the collective and individual time spent with each creating lifelong memories not only for herself, but them as well. She enjoyed her shopping adventures with her sister Linda on Saturday’s and her lunches with her cousin Jan who was like a sister to her.

Beverly had one of the kindest, caring, and most loving hearts that can only be given by God himself. She was always ready to lend a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on, an empathetic ear, and when all else failed, positive words of encouragement and hugs. She was a caregiver to all who crossed her path, and she had a smile that radiated the love that was in her big heart.

Beverly was a woman of faith and had an unwavering belief in God. She was so devoted to her Catholic faith that she raised her children and guided her grandchildren to continue that same belief.

In addition to her husband Harold, she is survived by their children...Kathlene Richter (Jeffrey, Norwalk) and Sherri Cogswell, (Norwalk), her grandchildren, Courtney, Justin, Mya, Jerry, EJ, Kylie, Aden, and her great grandson Nathan. She is survived by her sister Linda, brother Gary, her bonus son Efrain, Kimberly (Joseph), as well as many other loving relatives and good friends.

A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at St. Jerome Church, Norwalk at a date and time to be announced.
