Betty was preceded in death by husband Herbert Barr Beckman and son Ronald Beckman. She is survived by daughter Bonnie Beckman and son William F. Beckman (Catherine), daughter-in-law Kristi Beckman, grandchildren Trudie Harvey, Michelle Van der Hoek (Hans), William A. Beckman (Jennifer), Michael Beckman (Diana), Brandon Beckman (Amy), Tami Graf, and Carrie Graf, and niece Susan Main, 18 great-grandchildren and 2 great- great- grandchildren.
Betty was the heart of her home. She loved everyone and would take the time to make others feel special and included. She never forgot a birthday with a card that arrived right on the day with $1 for each year of age. She loved being outside, whether gazing at the stars or enjoying the sunshine. She loved her flower gardens and often expressed amazement at the details and differences. She was happy to share her bounty of veggies and fruit and her home made goodies. Betty also cared for the many birds that flocked to her yard by always ensuring the bird feeder was full. When she could no longer feed them herself she always asked, "Did you feed the birds?"
Betty always worried about everyone, even the birds. She will be dearly missed but her legacy of love and compassion will live on.
Family spreading of ashes will be held at a later date.
