Obituary of Beverly "Bev" Kitz

The family of Bev Kitz, beloved wife of Lawrence Kitz of Yorkton, sadly announce her sudden passing on Saturday, July 24, 2021. She was 74 years of age. Beverly Lynn (Boreen) Kitz was born July 11, 1947 to Bud and Anita Boreen. Bev was born to perform… she was literally born ON the stage at the Langenburg Hall as the hospital was under construction. She was baptized on September 28th, 1947 at the First English Lutheran Church with her Auntie Alva and Uncle Edgar Kaeding as her sponsors. She was then confirmed in the Lutheran faith on April 15, 1962. Those who only knew Bev as an adult may have been surprised to realize that growing up, Bev was her dad's sidekick on the farm. She was a rock picker, cow milker, and the barn cleaner. She was in the Potato and Beef Club in 4-H, and loved showing her calves at 4-H achievement days. Bev treasured her family. She married her best friend and the love of her life, Lawrence Kitz, on November 29th, 1980. She was so always so proud of her children Chad, Renai, and Regan, and her grandchildren. She looked forward to her weekly phone calls from Chad, sitting down at the piano with Renai, and movie nights with Regan. She loved to share her grandchildren's accomplishments: Porter's awesome pitching skills in his ball games, Cole making the SWAT Lacrosse team, and Alex and Dylann's Ukrainian dance competitions and performances. She cherished her time spent with family, especially occasions with her sisters. They would make plans to get together, often with other cousins, to share many laughs and visits. Anyone who knew Bev, knew she was organized, efficient, and had the energy of a tidal wave. After high school Bev went to secretarial school in Yorkton, and she took a job at the Bank of Montreal. Her and Lawrence owned and ran Cedarworld and Satellite City in Yorkton, and she also had her own business - B's Cleaning: Residential and Business Cleaning. She was the "Perogy and Bun Queen" and had many happy customers. She had the most spotless house and was always efficient in anything she did. Performing was her passion and her talent. As a young girl, she loved to get up in front of people and play the piano. She was in drama in school, and she played the pump organ at the Lutheran country church when she was just 13 years old. She was a member of the 4 Cs, the Kitz Family Band, the Kitz Trio, and Free Spirit. Over the years she played for dances, reunions, weddings, funerals, church services, and family gatherings, giving each and every audience the pure enjoyment of her tickling the ivories; she really could make the piano dance. Bev was an absolute social butterfly and knew how to have fun! As teenagers, her and her older sister Brenda would throw house parties when Bud and Anita went to visit family in Kennedy for the weekend. Anita always knew they had a party though, because the house was always cleaner when they came home. She was a member of the Churchbridge Ladies Curling Club for many years, and belonged to the Kinette's Club, working many a bingo. She made friend easily with everyone and had so many connections with so many people whom she crossed paths with. She lit up a room, and those who knew her were blessed with her fiery and uplifting spirit. Bev went home to be with her Lord and Saviour on July 24, 2021. She was reunited with her parents, Bud and Anita Boreen, her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Harold and Margaret Kitz, her brothers-in-law Barry Kitz, and Pat Turner, and her sister-in-law, Linda Kitz. She leaves to mourn her husband of 40 years, Lawrence, her children, Chad (Kathy), Renai (James), and Regan, as well as her precious grandchildren, Cole, Porter, Alex, and Dylann. She also leaves her sisters Brenda, Bonnie, and Alana, the Boreen and Kitz families, and an abundance of friends.
