Evelyn M. Beozubiak

Evelyn M. Beozubiak (Carano) Evelyn M. Beozubiak of Wellington, FL (b. May 14, 1932) died May 29 at JFK Medical Center from COVID-19. Her passing follows that of her husband of 63 years, Harry, last July. She is survived by her beloved sister, Vilma J. Lias, of Hollis, NH, (husband Russell) and their children Allen Lias (wife Jeanne) of Pittsburgh, PA, Renae Lias (husband Neil Claffey) of Nashua, NH, and their children, and nephew Charles Kudra of California who served with Renae as a co-guardian since July. She was predeceased by her father, Salvatore Carano, and mother Angelina, whom she saw every day while she was alive, and by her beloved dogs, Peeki, Peppy, and Sparky. Evelyn grew up in Aliquippa, PA, and taught generations of that town's fourth graders while living in S. Heights. She graduated from Geneva College at a time when having an immigrant parent and being a woman made that difficult. Her insider's knowledge of the Pittsburgh Pirates, if tapped by the coaching staff, would have undoubtedly led them to more playoff berths. She and Harry moved to Wellington in 1997 where she lived until advancing dementia led to placement at her home for the past three years, Signature Health Care of Palm Beach. Private burial will be at the S. Florida National Cemetery and her life will be celebrated later in NH. Condolences can be posted at https://www.palmswestfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Evelyn-Beozubiak/.
