Beverly A. Brennan (aka Nana Banana), age 87, of Cape Elizabeth, died on April 28, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on December 28, 1935, in Providence, RI to Jack and Christina Bashaw and on September 7, 1957, she married her high school sweetheart, Richard J. Brennan (aka Skip), at St. Michael's Church in Wheeling, West Virginia. Beverly graduated from West Virginia University in 1957.  Nana spent her younger years raising five children moving from place to place until they finally found home settling in Cape Elizabeth, Maine in 1976. Nana loved living in Maine because of her love for the ocean and the change of seasons.  She especially enjoyed taking her children to Casino beach, close to their home in Cape Elizabeth, where the neighborhood mothers and kids spent their days in the sun each summer.  Nana also enjoyed spending time in her garden, working at Portland Headlight gift shop in Cape Elizabeth, eating out with Skippy on Friday nights so she didn't have to cook, and taking fall trips to the Seaside Inn in Kennebunkport with the cousins.

Beverly is survived by her children, Richard (Tracy) Brennan, Jr., Christina (Lou) Couture, Erin P. Brennan (Michael Horrisberger), David Brennan, her ten beautiful grandchildren and two great granddaughters.

The funeral will be held on May 13, 2023, 4:00 p.m., at Hobbs Funeral Home, located at 230 Cottage Road, South Portland, Maine 04106.
