WROBEL
Beverly
1929-2014
Beverly (MacDonald) Wrobel was born in Millbury, Massachusetts to Grace and Bill MacDonald. Bev was proud of her strong Scottish heritage, of the Hebridean islanders.

Beverly graduated from Massachusetts General Hospital and began her nursing career on the Empire Builder Amtrak (formerly Great Northern) train in the early 1950's that ran (and still does) between Chicago and Seattle. While working, she met Charles (Chuck), who worked as a cook, having just left the Air Force. Beverly and Chuck married in Boston, honeymooned in Chicago, and then moved to Seattle, here Beverly worked as the lead nurse at Victoria Ranch, a home for developmentally delayed young adults. Five years later, Beverly and Chuck moved to Minnesota, a main stop on the Empire Builder route, and remained there for the rest of their lives aside from one more jaunt back to Seattle in the early eighties. Beverly then settled in Bayport, Minnesota. She worked for over 30 years as a registered nurse, and when she retired, enjoyed her life of gardening, dogs, and most of all, her grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her sister Betty (Reade) and husband Chuck (2008) and is survived by her children Pam Wrobel, Wendy Heurung (husband Bob, grandchildren Robin and Laura), and Scott (wife Roberta and grandchildren Abbey and Alex).
