June 29, 1935 - December 18, 2025
Beverly Joan Maragliano passed away on December 18, 2025, at the age of 90 years. Bev was born on June 29, 1935, to John and Mary Garibaldi in Stockton, CA.
Growing up, Bev lived on Ferguson Road a short walk through the orchard from where she would live her married life with her husband Tom and children Pam and Tommy. She attended St. Mary’s High School and after graduating, worked at New York Life.
As a young woman, Bev enjoyed attending the local dances, and met Tom Maragliano at a dance in the gym at Linden High School. They were married in May 1955 and lived in a house on Flora Street in Stockton. Bev and Tom lived there until 1963 when they moved to their new home in the country. She was married to Tom for 66 years. Bev enjoyed getting together with her many sets of friends, including on vacations to Lake Tahoe, Santa Cruz, Hawaii, and camping in their trailer. She was involved with her kids’ elementary school and PTA and enjoyed the various Italian organizations to which she belonged (where she would often enjoy her classic Campari and OJ).
Once she and Tom retired (she did the bookkeeping for the business), they traveled the country in their motor home. Bev loved spending time with her grandchildren, attending events and babysitting. The grandkids have fond memories of the motorhome, leg tickles, making puzzles, handwritten cards and letters, and Noni’s homemade meals, pasta with pesto, chocolate biscotti, canned peaches, french toast, and applesauce. Bev was a devoted and loving wife, mother, and Noni. She is survived by her daughter Pam (John Zidich), son Tommy (Yvette) and four grandchildren: Katie Mann (Jack), Ali Zidich, Nick Maragliano and Gianna Maragliano. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Melvin, and husband Tom.
