Beverly Wurzer, 78, of Fargo, ND, died peacefully on Tuesday, March 26, 2019 at her home, under the care of Hospice of the Red River Valley and family.

Beverly Ann Bossart was born on November 18, 1940, in Fargo, ND to Mabel (Johnson) and David Bossart. She grew up in Fargo/Moorhead and graduated from Moorhead High School.

She was married to Paul Wurzer and they had two sons, Steven and Michael. After Steven and Michael were born, she went back to school and graduated from NDSU with a degree in nursing. She had a long nursing career at St. Luke’s/Merit Care Hospital working in Oncology with Dr. Lloyd K. Everson Jr. and Dr. Paul Etzell, with whom she also worked to establish hospice in the Fargo/Moorhead area. She then worked with her brother, David Bossart, and later Lee Hagen, as a Nurse Paralegal. Bev finished her nursing career as a house supervisor at Dakota Heartland Hospital and Pioneer Senior Cottages in Fergus Falls.

Bev loved to travel, cook, bake pies, and watch shoot ‘em up movies. Most of all she loved spending time on West Battle Lake with her family.
Beverly is survived by her sons, Steve (Carla) Wurzer, Fargo, ND; Mike (Karen) Wurzer, Fargo, ND; brother, David (Bette) Bossart, Fargo, ND; sister-in-law, Betty Bossart (widow of Marv Bossart); four beautiful grandchildren, Sydney, Cole, Claire, and Anna; and eleven nieces and nephews, Debbie, Cindy, Bradley, Pam, Kim, Sherry, Laurie, Kathy, Elizabeth, Tom, and Stacy. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Ralph and Marv Bossart; partner, Jack Meidinger; and her beloved dogs, Deedee and Bailey.

Bev loved to dress with bright colors and always hoped her funeral would be full of life and color rather than mourning colors.

Any memorial gifts can be made in Bev’s honor to Hospice of the Red River Valley.
