Levin, Beverly
Beverly (Fisher) Levin, died at Hope Hospice in Providence, RI on December 7, 2024.
Beverly was born May 7, 1935, in Boston, a daughter of the late Joseph Fisher and Beatrice (Kupferman) Fisher. She was married to the late Dr. Henry Levin of Providence, RI.
Beverly was a gifted artist as well as scientist. In high school, she was offered a scholarship to the Boston Museum School and had won several science awards. Beverly had to decline the scholarship to help support her family and took a job as a lab assistant at Tufts School of Dental Medicine, where she met Henry.
A devoted wife and mother, she raised her three children while painting gallery-worthy landscapes and chauffeuring her children to myriad activities. However, her longing to further her education remained. When she was in her forties, she returned to school, earning a nursing degree school, studying alongside her children who were in middle and high school, ultimately earning A’s in her courses. Receiving her nurse’s pin at graduation was one of her proudest moments. After graduation, she worked at Miriam Hospital as an ICU nurse, became an AIDS educator, and ended her career working in a plastic surgeon’s office.
In addition to her husband Henry, she leaves her sister, Geraldine (Fisher) Jonas; her daughters Linda Levin-Scherz and her husband Jeffrey Levin-Scherz of Belmont, MA, Lori Broess and her husband Maarten Broess of Lincoln, RI, son Steven Levin and his wife Shannon Levin, of Duluth, MN, as well as her grandchildren Alyssa Levin-Scherz, Joshua Levin-Scherz, Jennifer Broess, Erik Broess, Peter Levin, Rebecca Levin, Matthew Levin, and Zachary Levin; and three great grandchildren.
Her burial will be private.

Dear Linda, Lori, Steven and family,
Your mother was so kind and welcoming. I remember all the family gatherings that Beverly & Henry hosted at their lovely Lincoln home. Bill & I will always think of her warmth & grace.
We have lost a strong beautiful, talented, intelligent woman who we were blessed to have as a friend and neighbor. We are devastated but take comfort she is with our beloved Henry. We witnessed the very special care and love of Linda, Laurie and Maarten. Beverly so appreciated and loved you for all your efforts. Our deepest sympathies, Tony and Kathy Gazzola
So sorry to hear of Beverly’s death. My late husband Rodney truly enjoyed working with Henry. We both enjoyed Beverly and Henry’s company at many dental social occasions over the years. May she rest in peace.
