S. Rose Patrice Beck
birth name: Patricia Marie
S. Rose Patrice Beck died Dec. 22, 2016, at the age of 82 at Mother Margaret Hall. S. Rose Patrice was born Patricia Marie Beck on June 6, 1934, to Wilbur and Minnie (Kreck) in Cleveland, Ohio. She was the middle child of 12. She was a Sister of Charity of Cincinnati for 64 years.
S. Rose Patrice attended Holy Name Grade and High School, Cleveland, Ohio, and graduated in 1953, finishing high school at Mount St. Joseph. The Holy Name schools were staffed by the Sisters of Charity and she felt called to join them from an early age. She had the full support of her family.
S. Rose Patrice earned a Bachelor of Science degree in education from the College of Mount St. Joseph in 1962 and completed a master's in education from Xavier University, Cincinnati, in 1970. She began her 41-year ministry in elementary education in the classroom at Holy Cross, Cincinnati, in 1955; from there she went to Sacred Heart, Denver, Colorado (1956-'57); Cathedral, Denver (1957-'58); St. Mary, Cincinnati (1959-'65); Holy Ghost, South Holland, Illinois (1965-'66); St. Rose, Lima, Ohio (1966-'68); and St. John Baptist de la Salle, Chillum, Maryland (1968-'70). It was at this time she moved from the classroom to serve as principal at St. Brigid, Xenia, Ohio (1970-'75) and then at St. Bernadette, Westlake, Ohio (1975-'80).
In 1980 S. Rose Patrice went to St. Joseph/St. John, Cleveland, Ohio, followed by serving as principal at St. Mary of the Falls, Olmstead Falls, Ohio, 1981-'86. She came to her beloved Holy Name in 1986, remaining there for 10 years. The familiarity of the city and its people seemed the perfect setting for her retirement in 1996 where she volunteered at Marymount Hospital, Garfield Heights, Ohio, and visited senior citizens at Jennings Manor where she also resided. In 2012 she moved to Mother Margaret Hall.
S. Rose Patrice was principal at St. Brigid, Xenia, Ohio, when the tornado of 1974 completely destroyed their church, school and convent. She found that experience to be her greatest life challenge. She reflected on this in 2012 when she celebrated her Diamond Jubilee as a Sister of Charity. "We had 496 children with no place to go. I was able to find a closed school in Dayton, Ohio, and for four years we transported students via church buses to Dayton; finally we could move back to Xenia when the new school was built. During that time we lived with different parish families until we were able to rent a home outside of Xenia, five months after the tornado," Sister said.

BECK, Sr. Rose Patrice, S.C., beloved member of the Sisters of Charity, dear sister of Susan Sammons, Ethel Karlozi, Janice Hanford, Barbara Siracuse and John Beck, and the late Irene VanGerve, Dorothy Donley, Lois Fisher, Wilbert and Mike Beck, survived by many nieces and nephews. Departed Thursday, December 22, 2016 at the age of 82.
The Sisters of Charity will receive guests in the Heritage Room of the Motherhouse at Mount Saint Joseph on Thursday, December 29, 2016 from 2 pm until Mass of Christian Burial in the Motherhouse Chapel at 3 pm. Burial will follow in the Motherhouse Cemetery.
