Beverly Ann Schlabach

Beverly Ann Schlabach passed away peacefully on July 7, 2025, at the age of 75 surrounded by her family.

Beverly was born in Brenham, Texas on December 21, 1949, to Martin and Elnora (Meier) Wellbrock. She was baptized on January 15, 1950, in St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Sandy Hill and was confirmed on February 9, 1964, at Salem Lutheran Church in Brenham.

Beverly attended Brenham schools until her mother became ill. She then took on the role of mother for her younger siblings. On December 19, 1970, she married Sammy Schlabach. They were blessed with three children Keith, Chad, and Lana.

Beverly worked at Bren-Tex Mills from 1978 until 2007, when Sammy became ill. She stayed by her husband’s side until his death June 20, 2007. They were married 37 years. She had found her passion for taking care of others and continued to do so until December 2024.

Beverly lived a long and fulfilled life as a sister, wife, mother, and a loving grandmother. She spent her free time spoiling her grandchildren and making sure to attend their events whenever possible - rodeo, football, softball, and other school events - even if she could only stay for a little while.

If you met Beverly (aka Nana) you became hers and she loved you like her own.
