Beverly Lynn Mezzanotte

Beverly Lynn Mezzanotte (née Kroneberger), 80, of Pasadena, Maryland, passed away on November 7, 2026. She was born on March 17, 1946, in Baltimore, Maryland.

Beverly was tiny in stature but strong in spirit. She had a generous heart and a selfless nature, always willing to give whatever she could to help someone in need. She was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back without a second thought.

Above all else, Beverly loved her family and her animals. She was incredibly proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and nothing brought her more happiness than the people she loved. The sun rose and set on her grandchildren, and her family was always at the center of her world. She was their biggest supporter, celebrating every accomplishment with pride and joy.

Her love for animals was just as much a part of who she was. She devoted many years to volunteering with Greyhound Rescue, giving her time and love to animals in need. Her own pets could not have asked for a better life. They were loved, spoiled, and cared for with the same devotion she gave to her family.

Beverly spent much of her professional life working in orthodontics and, most recently, at Crofton Family Eye Care, before retiring.

Among her happiest memories were the times she shared with her cousin Sam, who had a special way of making her laugh endlessly. Those moments of laughter and the joy they shared were something she always treasured.

Beverly is survived by her daughter, Lori Mezzanotte; her son, Paul Mezzanotte, and his wife, Mizue; her grandchildren, Kelsey Furstenberg and Patrick Tanski; and her great-grandchildren, Aiden Twohey, MacKenzie Furstenberg, and Alexis Furstenberg. She is also survived by loving nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her sister, Joan Arnold and niece, Jo-Ann Kronstadt.

A celebration of Beverly’s life will be held in the spring, with details to be announced. In honor of her lifelong love of animals, the family asks that those wishing to remember her consider making a donation to the SPCA or an animal charity of their choice.
