Beverly Bennett, age 87, passed away peacefully Tuesday, November 2, 2022, in Ann Arbor with family by her side.
She was born on June 25, 1935, in Ashland, Wisconsin to Frank and Mary (Vitec) Nemec. On March 31, 1956, she married Thomas Bennett in Saline, Mich., and they resided on Willis Road until his death in 2008.
Beverly loved gardening as much as she loved making friends. She combined those passions at the produce market she ran next to her Willis Road home. In later years she initiated landscape projects at her Millpond Manor home. Beverly worked many years at the Saline Gambles Store and at the Ann Arbor Credit Union.
In retirement, she stayed active as a volunteer with the Friends of the Library. She was a phenomenal cook and an accomplished, prolific artist. She loved to travel. Her “Bucket List” companion here in the U.S. was her cousin Janet Boutilier, while her great nephew Randy Bennett joined her in touring Europe and the U.K.
In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents, 3 sisters, 2 brothers and a nephew. She is survived by two sisters-in-law, Joan Minnick and Gail Woods; six nephews: Dan (Mickie Jo) Bennett, Greg (Victoria) Bennett, Larry (Kay) Moe, Dick Lund, Tom Lund, and Kevin (Lynn) Nemec; six nieces Pam Minnick, Lynn (Bob) Wedlund, Luann (Craig) Emmes, Cathy (Dennis) Pocernich, Lorie Lund and Andrea (Paul) Plucinak.
She had 9 great nieces and nephews and six great-grand nieces and nephews. She is also survived by the many, many friends she made in her years in Saline.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
