Beverly J. Gerhart

Beverly J. Gerhart, age 70, passed away March 12, 2023, at Licking Memorial Hospital.  She was born July 7, 1952, in Mt. Vernon, to the late Virgil Edwin and Charlene (Jacobs) Blair.

She is survived by two sisters, Carolyn Blair and Pat Mason; a brother-in-law, Dan Mason; a son, Thomas R. Gerhart, Jr., and two grandchildren, Averie and Dylan Gerhart.

Bev's greatest joy on Earth was the beautiful dogs and cats she was fortunate enough to have throughout her life, and her greatest sorrow was child abuse and animal cruelty.

Everything else about Bev is private and will be kept as such. At her request, there will be no calling hours and she is to be cremated and her ashes scattered at the place where her late husband, Thomas R. Gerhart's ashes rest.

No condolences, please. The time to speak kindly is while the person is living.

Law-Baker Funeral Home, 34 N. Main St., Utica is assisting the family with arrangements.
