Lester W. Beeney Sr.

May 15, 1926 - October 3, 2020

Lester went to meet Jesus in Heaven on Sat, Oct 3rd, 2020 while residing at Grand Oaks Nursing Center in Baldwin, MI. He was a kind, sweet and peaceful man who loved to travel and enjoyed the simple things of life for 94 years. He knew how to stop and “smell the roses”. He really enjoyed visiting the lighthouses of the Great Lakes, and one of his favorite places to visit was Grand Haven to walk and watch the sunsets. He enjoyed camping with his family for many years and loved going bowling with family and friends. Later on he liked going to the Soo Locks with his wife Eleanor and watching the boats. After retiring from Bissell, he found out he liked golfing so much, he joined a league. He truly loved his family and they truly loved him. He will be sadly missed by his loving wife , Eleanor of nearly 25 years and also by his beloved and extensive family, including his Son Les (Paula) Beeney, his Son Larry Beeney, his daughter Gail (Ken) Welch, his step-Daughter Renee Scheele, his step-Son Rick(Connie) Funk , and his step-Daughter Linda(Jim) Byington. He was also blessed with 13 Grandchildren, 20 plus Great-Grandchildren, and 3 Great-Great Grandchildren. Waiting to greet him in Heaven will be his first wife, LaVerna who preceded him in death in 1994. Most of his living years were spent in the Grand Rapids area. Lester will be cremated and there will be a simple Graveside Service at Rosedale Cemetery for family and friends. The date of this service is pending. In lieu of flowers please make any donations to Hospice of Michigan, Ludington Branch.
