Beverly J. Klass 1942-2025

Beverly was born June 2, 1942, in Canton, the daughter of Alfred and Grace Huth Ransom.

She attended Bethany College where she was a member of Kappa Delta sorority and the Messiah Choir. She graduated from France Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University with a bachelor’s degree in nursing. She also was a certified dermatology nurse. After working in different areas, Beverly retired from Warren Dermatology and Allergy as a dermatology and Mohs surgery nurse for 26 1/2 years.

She was an active member of Central Christian Church, enjoying many activities and making many friends there.

Beverly was past president of the Women’s Panhellenic Association and Weeds to Roses garden club. She loved playing bridge, swimming, reading, golfing, gardening, bird watching and going on day trips with her friends to shop and have lunch.

Her favorite vacation spots were Cape Cod and the Outer Banks, and especially Corolla, North Carolina, to see the wild Spanish Mustangs. She was a sponsor to Brio, a horse that was rescued from the wild due to malnutrition.

A horse and dog lover, she cherished her rescue dogs, McKenzie, Liberty, Becker and Rory. She was a member of Northeast Ohio Shetland Sheepdog Rescues.

Most of all, she loved her six grandchildren, going to their sports, cheerleading and academic honors programs and games as well as going on vacations with her family. She even took her one granddaughter for horseback riding lessons, taking a few lessons herself.

Beverly was an Indians and Browns fan. Her biggest projects were making T-shirt quilts for all the grandchildren and also stuffed animals made from her mother’s chenille bedspread.

Beverly is survived by two daughters, Erin (Norm) McKnight of Chippewa, Pa., and Kristen Grayson of Virginia Beach, Va.; and son, Eric (Susie) Glosser of Poland; grandchildren Emma, Ryleigh and Jack McKnight, Tanner Grayson, Brendan (Lindsey) Glosser and Chelsea Glosser (Mike) Evinsky; and three great-grandchildren, Gwenyth, Claire and Jaxton; brother, Dr. Richard Ransom of Wooster; cousin, Gerry Huth of Fairfield; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and sister-in-law, Sherry Ransom of Wooster.

Per her wishes, cremation has taken place. A celebration of life will take place at a later date.

Memorial donations can be made to Northeast Ohio Shetland Sheepdog Rescues, the Corolla Wild Horse Fund, or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
