The Nugget Newspaper - News and Opinion from Sisters, Oregon

My dear mother, Beverly Israel Eigner, passed away on June 25, full of grace and gratitude.

Beverly was born in Seattle, Washington to Jewish immigrants Gentil Levy and Morris Israel.

She graduated from University of Washington and had a 22-year career as an educator at City College of San Francisco.

She married Richard Eigner, who she met serendipitously. Their marriage lasted 53 years until Richard passed at 91 years of age.

She had two children (David and Danielle) and four grandchildren (Rebecca, Hannah, Caleb, and Jakob).

She came to Sisters last year to be with me, her daughter. In Sisters, she enjoyed quilting with the Mission Quilters and beheld the Three Sisters Mountains from her bedroom window. Beverly I. Eigner was deeply good and will be profoundly missed.
