Beverly Marie (Lynch) Stehlin

Beverly Lynch Stehlin, 85, unexpectedly passed away at home on March 29, 2024. She was married to the love of her life Jim for almost 63 years, she missed him every single day since his passing in April, 2023. Bev’s family is comforted knowing she and Jim are together again. 

Bev was born in Waterbury, CT on June 9, 1938. She attended Endicott College in Beverly, MA and graduated in 1954. She was proud of her long career as a medical technologist at Anna Jaques Hospital.

Bev was dedicated all her life to her friends and family. She will be remembered for her warm personality and kindness to the people she held close. Her great joy could be found in the close decades-long friendships. If not with her loved ones and friends, you could find her with a paintbrush or popular new book in hand.

Bev and Jim’s Lafayette Street home was a gathering space for the Newburyport High School football team and its supporters for over 20 years. She never missed a grandchild’s game or performance or rite of passage. Her laugh filled the room and she always had a smile on her face. Her family was the center of her universe and she was genuinely curious and interested in everything about the lives of her children, her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren.

Bev is survived by 3 children Kevin (Sheila), Kelley Conley (Brian) and Kara Mamakos (the late Michael). She is also survived by 8 grandchildren, to whom she was “Nana”: Devin, Brianna, Evan (Harriet), Derek (Franco), Kelsey, Carly, James and Elianna and 4 great grandchildren along with her 2 sisters Barbara Dudley (Steve) and Bonnie Lynch.

Family and friends are invited to Bev’s Funeral Mass at 10:30 on Saturday, April 20, 2024 at Immaculate Conception Church with a private burial. All are invited to join Bev’s family for a Celebration of Life at the Mission Oak Grill, 26 Green Street, Newburyport immediately following the Mass.  The Twomey, LeBlanc and Conte Funeral Home, 193 High Street is assisting with Mrs. Stehlin’s funeral arrangements.
