Beverly Ann (Schmakel) Zellmann was born in Waconia on April 11, 1937. She was the daughter of Albert and Helen (Luebke) Schmakel. She was baptized and confirmed at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Waconia. Beverly was a graduate of the Waconia High School. On Nov. 30, 1957, Beverly was united in marriage to Earl F. Zellmann at Trinity Lutheran Church in Waconia.
After Earl’s discharge from the military, the couple moved to Plato. Beverly has been a devoted member of the St. John’s Lutheran Church in Plato and has volunteered whenever needed. She enjoyed watching and studying birds, camping, fishing, quilting and scrapbooking. Beverly began every morning with the crossword from the daily paper. She loved to play dice games and cards, especially Sheephead and Rummy 500. She was crazy about sports and enjoyed the Twins, Timberwolves, Wild, Vikings, Gophers and the local high school teams. Beverly kept track of and reported on all of the activity of Plato which she gathered from the post office and her kitchen window.
Beverly’s life was focused on her family. She would cut out all the articles or highlights of her kids and grandchildren and cherished every visit and phone call.
Beverly is survived by her loving family: husband, Earl Zellmann of Plato; children, Grant (Rachelle) Zellmann of Norwood Young America, and Nate (Amy) Zellmann of Arlington; grandchildren, Jenna Zellmann and Allison Zellmann; sister-in-law, Bernice Kuchenmeister of Chaska; nieces, nephews, other relatives and many dear friends.
Beverly is preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Helen Schmakel; sisters and brother-in-law Elvira and Fred Henry, and Shirley Lewis; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Raymond and Martha Zellmann, Rosella and Walter Neumann, Luella and Elvin Mueller, Lucille and Maynard Haag, and Robert Kuchenmeister.
