Beverly S. "Bev" Tomazic

Beverly S. “Bev” Tomazic (nee Wilhelm), 67, of Lorain, died suddenly Monday April 22, 2024 at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center from heart failure. She was born June 18, 1956 in Lorain to Elmer & Mary Wilhelm (nee Mihalick) the 5th of 8 children. Bev graduated in 1975 from Southview High School in Lorain and worked for several years at Romp’s Water Port in Vermilion. Later, she worked for Lorain City Schools, first at Homewood School and then Lowell School as the cafeteria manager, where she retired from. She was a member of St Frances Cabrini Catholic Church (formerly St John’s) in Lorain and St Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Elyria Township. Bev was so very important to her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. Her favorite activity was spending time with her grandchildren, the lights of her life, often taking mini-trips around NE Ohio to make lifelong memories. Bev cared immensely for her family and took care of her mother, father, and brothers during times of need. She was most passionate about providing meals to others and was an amazing cook. She created love-filled meals regularly for her immediate family, and at every holiday for the extended family she would often make dishes that were traditional Slovak/Slovenian dishes. She enjoyed attending concerts in her younger years, playing cards with extended family, going on trips with close family friends, playing games with her grandchildren, listening to country and classic rock music, going shopping (often shopping for others rather than herself), and visiting her grand-dogs. Her favorite holiday was Christmas, as the togetherness of family is what made her happy. Her love was also felt by her 28 nieces and nephews, and multiple godchildren. She is survived by her husband of 47 years Darryl Tomazic, son Nicholas Tomazic (Christine); grandchildren: Tristan & Alyssa Tomazic; siblings: Jack Wilhelm (Corrine), Tom Wilhelm, Kristina Wilhelm, Fred Wilhelm (Debbie), and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers: Rodger, Fritz, and Victor Wilhelm; In-Laws: Richard, Bertha, and Gary Tomazic, and close family friend Genivive Stevens. Charitable donations can be made to the Vitalant Foundation (Vitalant.org) or by donating blood, which helped Bev through the past year. Because of you, life doesn’t stop, please give blood. Friends and family will be received Friday May 17, 2024 from 10:00 am followed by a funeral mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 am at St Frances Cabrini Catholic Church, 2143 Homewood Dr, Lorain. The Rev Neil Walters, pastor, will preside.
