Beverly "Anna" Hatcher

Beverly “Anna” Sue Hatcher of Macomb, Michigan, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2024 at age 68. Beverly was born January 13, 1956, in Detroit, Michigan. She was the daughter of Walton and Ruth Hatcher and beloved sister of Alan. Beverly graduated from Grosse Pointe North High School in 1974. She worked as a graphic designer for Deloitte & Touche for over 20 years. As a child, Bev would hang out with her youngest aunt, Helen, and younger cousins, Diane and Anne, “helping” Situ get dinners together and set the table for family dinners or picnicking at Belle Isle. The girls were inseparable as they ran around Situ and Jidu’s house or the park. Family was always at the center of Bev’s life. Bev had the brightest smile especially when she was with her family members, nieces and nephews, and their little ones. Every time she met someone, she radiated love. Bev has been described by her niece as wise, upbeat, understanding, encouraging, and impactful. She was a power to be reckoned with when fundraising for her church and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with garage sales and bake sales. Bev was the keeper of the family tree, always updating it when children were born into the family. Her family heritage was of utmost importance and she made sure to keep Syrian cooking traditions by scheduling meat pie cooking events to pass along the family recipes to the next generation. She enjoyed traveling, having visited Greece, Hawaii, Mexico, and countless cruises in the Caribbean. However, her favorite place to visit was the family cabin in West Branch. At the cabin, she and her whole family would sit around the campfire, while her dad would sing songs to the children about “fishy, fishy in the brook.” The whole extended family enjoyed canoeing on the Rifle River, clearing the brush from the land, and exploring the woods. Beverly was a devout Orthodox Christian and was given the name Anna at baptism. She was a founding member of St. Irene of Chrysovalantou Greek Orthodox Church in Washington, Michigan, and served on the parish council for many years. After retirement, she became very involved in her community, serving in many roles in her HOA and as president. Beverly was predeceased by her parents, Walton and Ruth Hatcher, and her brother Alan Hatcher. She is survived by her aunts and uncles; Anne Grayr, Sarah and Donald Ludlow, and Helen and Moussa Askar as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. Bev loved her cousins as if they were her brothers and sisters and thus their children her nieces and nephews. Bev is survived by her many godchildren and loving friends. She is also survived by Maria and Nick Agas, her adopted Greek family, as well as their children Thespina, Dimitri, and Kelly whom she loved and cared for as if they were her own. She is also survived by Vlasi, who Bev was his Situ. One of her recited quotes was “If you think nice, speak nice, and have a good heart, everyone will love you.” That is exactly how to remember Bev as we all loved her. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to: St. Irene of Chrysovalantou Greek Orthodox Church, 3000 28 Mile Road, Washington, MI 48094.
