Maybelle (Stephens) Beers, age 95, of Washington St., Westfield unexpectedly entered into eternal rest on Monday, January 8, 2018 at Westfield Memorial Hospital with her family by her side.

David "Crow" (June) Beers of Westfield. She was the proud grandmother of Ernie, Fred, Rebecca, Jason, Jay, Jesse, Scott and Shannon.
