Beverly Cain Egan, age 79, passed peacefully on June 6, 2020 after battling Mesothelioma. She was born in Baltimore, MD, on February 18, 1941. She was the daughter of the late Eugene and Emma Bigham. Beverly graduated from Eastern High School and earned an AA degree from Essex Community College.
Left behind to cherish her memory are her loving and devoted husband, William Egan; dedicated and caring children Mark Cain (Donna), and Jennifer Dieter (Michael); brother Gene Bigham (Gorgie) and sister Joyce Stevenson (Lawrence); nieces Bridget, Gillian, Carrie, and Lauren, and nephew Lawrence. Also survived by Bill’s children, Genie Williams (Michael), Weegee Egan (Sandi), Carrie Gallo (David), and Gengy Lynn Vaikness (Steve).
Beverly was Grandmother GeGe to Sara, and Grandmother (Bev) to Amy, Ryan, Sydney, Kylie, Bailey, Timothy, Anna, and Brigid. She was recently blessed with a great granddaughter Ramona Jane.
Beverly raised two children as a single mom while going to college and pursuing a career. She rose to the position of Vice President in a Fortune 500 company. She had the luxury of retiring early, giving her the opportunity to enjoy her new role as Grandmom GeGe to Sara. During her retirement she volunteered as a CASA sponsor, became an avid reader, traveled, and sat leisurely on the beach in Ocean City. Most of all she touched many hearts doing what she loved most, which is spending time with family and friends.
Relatives and friends are invited to gather at the Schimunek Funeral Home, Inc., 9705 Belair RD, Nottingham, MD 21236, on Wednesday, June 10, 2020, from 3-8pm.
