BEVERLY F. ACKERS

Beverly F. Ackers, age 87, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her entire family, on November 11, 2025. She was born, raised, and remained her entire life in White Haven. She grew up in the Tannery and later began her married life in town with her husband, Gordon “Gordy” Ackers. In their retirement, Bev and Gordy returned to the family homestead in the Tannery to enjoy the home she treasured along with the neighbors, both long-time and new.

She was the daughter of the late Charles and Grace (Stemple)Sterner. Preceding her death was her husband Gordy in 2019 and brother, Charles. Beverly is survived by her son, Gordy (Doreen) Ackers of White Haven, and daughter, Cindy (Dwight) Derolf of Buck Township; grandchildren Jake (Danielle) Derolf of Elizabethtown, PA, Chandler (Briley Marchetti) Ackers of Gilbertsville, PA and Hannah Ackers also of Gilbertsville, PA; and great-grandsons Duncan and Russell Derolf and Miles Marchetti. She is also survived by sisters-in-law Elaine Smith, Mary Alice Quinn, Janet Ackers and Alyce Sterner along with several nieces & nephews.

Her greatest joy was her grandchildren and now her great-grandsons. She was devoted to them and proud of every stage of their lives. In recent years, she did her best to master FaceTime, and on the happy occasions she connected, it was the highlight of her day. Throughout her life she enjoyed nothing more than crocheting a new afghan for anyone who asked for one and countless craftmaking projects for herself and others.  At the holidays she treasured cookie making, especially when one of her grandchildren was by her side.

She was a lifelong member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and strong in her faith. In lieu of flowers, the family asks to remember and honor Beverly’s life that memorial contributions be made to St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 414 Berwick Street, White Haven.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 22, 2025 at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in White Haven at 10:45am.  The family will be greeting friends & family beginning at 10:00am at the church.

Arrangements under the direction of the Lehman Family Funeral Service, Inc. White Haven.
