Portland- Beverly Ann Moran passed away peacefully on the morning of January 26, 2023, at the age of 77. She was born on February 17, 1945 to the late Thomas & Sarah Betty (Tritle) Herbert.
Beverly, a devoted wife, mother and grandmother grew up on Munjoy Hill where she enjoyed going to East End Beach as a child, stopping at the grandstand to play and sitting on the cannon at Fort Allen Park. She was a graduate of Portland High School Class of 1963. After graduating she went to work for the City of Portland in the Welfare Department.
In January 1971, she married the love of her life Dennis Moran and together they raised three children, Donna, Sherri & Kevin. With Denny by her side, they spent many summers at the beach and Sebago Lake enjoying family time. Beverly also enjoyed working at Shaw’s Westgate for many years. She enjoyed going to Scarborough Downs in her early years gambling on horses and loved to play the slots at Foxwoods. She loved taking rides with Denny to Ken’s Seafood anytime of the year to get her favorite fried clams & clam cakes. Later on, she devoted much of her love and energy to help care for all of her grandchildren and will be affectionately remembered as “Grammy”.
She was predeceased by her parents. She is survived by her husband, Dennis; her daughter, Donna Tibbetts and husband John, daughter, Sherri Roberts and husband Kevin; a son, Kevin Moran and Jocelyn Kahn; eight grandchildren, Kayla Tibbetts, John Tibbetts III, Logan Tibbetts, Aidan Roberts, Grace Roberts, Faye Moran, Lily Moran and George Moran; she is also survived by three siblings, Marylou Trowbridge and husband Rick of Connecticut, Thomas Herbert III and wife Sheila of New Hampshire and Gloria Moran and husband David of South Portland; many nieces and nephews.

Very thoughtful – always wanted to help….well known for her delicious apple squares which her granddaughter Faye loved!
Bev was a beautiful and kind person – so loved her family and was an incredible grandmother.
Billie and I always enjoyed seeing Beverly and her family at Queenie’s annual summer picnic on Peaks Island. Of course, covid has made that event impossible in recent times, and we have missed seeing all the Morans. I still remember the year that Donna gave me one of those great green MORAN t-shirts.
Beverly was such a nice & welcoming person…so sweet. Our thoughts are with Denny and their children and hope their memories of her will comfort them during this time.
I am so sorry to hear of Bev’s passing. She will be missed. I know how much she enjoyed her time with her family!
Beverly was one of the kindest, warmest most sincere and loving individuals. She was selfless and, like her Mom, always put her children and grandchildren first. I was blessed to have her in my life and will miss her warmth and love.
