Beverly Ann Cahill
Longtime Shelter Island resident Beverly Ann Cahill passed away suddenly at the Hampton Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in Southampton on Jan. 7 at the age of 88.
A full-time Islander for 55 years, known to her many Island friends as Bev, she was born in Manhattan on Nov. 8, 1932, coinciding with the first of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidential wins.
Her mother Mildred had been divorced and married Shelter Island native William B. Price, who adopted Beverly and her younger sister Mickey as children. After living in New York City for a period of time, the family settled in New Jersey, first Elizabeth, and then in Colonia.
