Beverly M. Jungen

Beverly M. Jungen, 93, of La Crosse, Wis., died Monday, April 30, 2018, in her home. She was born in La Crosse, Wis., on May 29, 1924, to Leo and Myrtle (Bensen) Bohlman. She married Bernard Jungen and they later divorced.

Beverly was a self-employed seamstress that provided services for many cleaners and people all over the city of La Crosse for over 60 years. She even tailored a suit worn by President Gerald Ford. Beverly was also proud to be the last “single family home resident”, and the longest living resident in her neighborhood. She was looked on by many of the college students as their second mother in La Crosse. She very much enjoyed when the students would bring her gifts, spend time or bring her cookies!
