Beverly Haupt

Beverly Haupt, 83, of Farmington, CT passed away peacefully on November 6, 2024. After a long brave battle with Parkinson’s disease, she spent her final days on hospice surrounded by her loving family. Bev was born in Detroit, MI on July 12, 1941 to Martha and Joseph and was baptized at Iroquois Avenue Christ Lutheran Church on July 27, 1941. She grew up with a busy boisterous family of siblings and cousins in the city and graduated from Guyton High School. Bev pursued further secretarial training and worked after that in Detroit. She remained involved in the church and met the love of her life, Donald Haupt, at Lutheran Young Adults. They were married on April 24, 1971, and soon after moved to New Jersey for new employment opportunities. Beverly artfully balanced raising her amazing children and working for most of her professional career as Business Manager of a group of Physical Therapy offices in the region. Bev and Don moved to CT in recent years to be closer to family. Faith and Family were most important to Beverly; she poured all of her energy and passion into supporting her family and serving her Lord throughout her life. Bev sang alto in the church choir, was superintendent of the Sunday School, organized and served on the altar guild, ran several church bazaar events, organized flowers and breakfasts and countless other activities at Christ Memorial Lutheran Church in East Brunswick, NJ. Beverly’s strong, confident, “let’s get it done” attitude made her an awesome role model for her children and grandchildren, whom she fiercely loved and supported and inspired. She gave insightful on-point advice, made the best Halloween costumes by hand, planned the best themed parties and was the ultimate marching band parent. She was overjoyed to welcome each of her five grandchildren to the family, and attended countless concerts, recitals, sporting events, and theater performances featuring them. She was always ready to cuddle on the couch for another read of their favorite book, sing along with their songs, play yet another round of UNO, help with a sewing project, or give big hugs. Beverly loved absolutely everything about Christmas, from the trees to the lights to the services and the whole season of celebration of her Savior’s birth. Her Christmas decorations, Christmas china, and huge snowman collection were legendary! Beverly is survived by her loving husband, Donald Haupt, her daughter Amy Baumer of West Hartford, son Jerry Haupt of West Chester PA, her son-in-law Scott Baumer, her daughter-in-law Joanna Haupt, her grandchildren: Grace Baumer, Timmy Baumer, Katie Baumer, Myles Haupt, and Hannah Haupt, her sister Louise Holtz, her brother-in-law Ken Haupt, her sister-in-law Linda Haupt, and several loving nieces and nephews. Beverly’s family will be forever grateful for the outstanding, tireless work of the staff of River Ridge of Avon, who cared for her needs in such a professional, expert, loving manner over the past 1.5 years. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 39 Prospect St, New Hartford. Calling hours will be on Tuesday Nov 12th at 6-8pm at Molloy Funeral Home in West Hartford. Funeral services will be held at St Paul’s Lutheran Church in New Hartford on Wednesday Nov 13th at 11am.
