Alice Beverly Hickey Pinelli, of Princeton, NJ, died peacefully at home on Friday, July 31, 2015, with her daughter, Michelle, at her side. She would have been 82 years old in September.
Beverly Hickey was born and raised in Princeton, NJ and moved to Levittown, PA in the 1950’s upon her marriage to Michael Pinelli.
In the journey of her life and while raising her young family in Pennsylvania, Beverly was dedicated to her community and was heavily involved in many philanthropic activities. As President of the PTA and Oaktree Women’s Group of Levittown, Beverly spearheaded a fundraiser which benefitted the Bucks County Association for Challenged Children, by paying the rental of the facility that housed a workshop for the children. Additionally, as a member of the Oaktree Women’s Group they raised funds which went to the Trendler Nursing Home providing funding for equipment for daycare of mentally challenged children.
When the house that she always treasured was available for purchase, Beverly and her family moved back to Princeton, where she continued her community service by becoming one of the founding members of the West Windsor Volunteer First Aid Squad.
Beverly was also heavily involved with numerous community groups including being the co-chair of the West Windsor PTA. Among their activities the PTA organized events to fund the purchase of sets of encyclopedias for the Maurice Hawk and Dutch Neck Schools. As a member of the West Windsor PTA, she coordinated efforts with St. Paul’s PTA and the Princeton Chapter of the American Association of University Women to sponsor a benefit fashion show at Clayton’s in Palmer Square.
Beverly was thrilled to hear of the recent preservation of the porch on Lytle Street of which she has fond memories. As a young girl, when visiting her grandmother, she would often run across the street to sit on the porch with her cousins Sonny and Wee Tash.
Beverly had a contagious enthusiasm for life. Friends will always remember her in her VW bug, happily taking anyone home regardless of the time of day (or night), music playing all the way. Beverly’s musical repertoire included the Mamas and the Papas and Stevie Nicks, but her favorite song was Richard Harris’ “Cake Out In The Rain”. An avid reader, her favorite book was “Gone With The Wind”, from which she would frequently quote, “I can’t think about that now, I’ll think about it tomorrow.”
Beverly’s garden is and always was filled with a multitude of flowering plants and shrubs, from her daffodils and wisteria in the Spring to her Rose of Sharon and hydrangea in the Summer. Her garden would be aglow in the Fall when her maple trees burst into a beautiful bright red, bringing a warmth to her yard and the neighborhood.
Always ahead of the decorating curve, Beverly had a talent for decorating her ceilings in such a way that Michelangelo would be proud of. She loved to embellish her house with beautiful touches everywhere, including having peacock feathers and flower petals on her ceiling. The entire community loved to see her birdcage and gnome in her front yard, which were always seasonally decorated for all to enjoy.
Beverly’s pride and joy was her family, who knew her as “Eggetts” and as her grandchildren grew and made friends, the name Eggetts remained to all who knew her.
Most of all, Beverly was dedicated to her grandchildren and was always ready to help a friend. She embraced life fully and energetically. Beverly will be sorely missed with a heavy heart, but most of all fondly remembered with a grand smile on our faces.
Beverly was predeceased by her husband, Michael Pinelli, sister Briteen Gregory, parents Alice Tash Hickey McNamee and T. Donald Hickey and dear cousins Sonny and William (Wee) Tash.
Beverly is survived by two daughters: Michelle Caponi, son-in-law Frank and grandsons Michael, Frank Jr., Jonathan and Parker, and Robin Shangle, son-in-law Russell and grandchildren Tasha, Charles IV and Brandon, sister Linda Heller, brother Thomas Hickey, cousins Bill Hickey, Betty Ann MacSherry and Walter Tash, and several nieces and nephews, and her dear dedicated companion and friend Robert Anderson.
A celebration of Beverly’s life will be on Thursday, August 6, 2015 at her home from 2:00PM to 4:00PM.
