Mary BECKS Obituary

only child living with her
parents Earl B. and Pauline Craigmile, her aunt Lucille Coryell and grandmother
Florence Coryell. She took care of them all until their final days, including beloved
in-laws, Freida and Elaine Becks. Mary graduated from Fairview High School in 1943 and attended Bowling Green University (Gamma Phi Beta). She married the love of her life, Joseph V. Becks on July 6, 1945. Joe served in the Army during WWII in the battlefields of
Europe and Japan. Mary and Joe were married 47 years until he died on October 12, 1992. Mary excelled as a wife, mother, homemaker, and volunteered for her church and community. After the passing of Joe, she became the president of Joe Becks and Associates, Inc.-General Contractor and reigned like a queen bee, loving and appreciating every employee! Mary enjoyed playing the piano, marimba, painting with water
colors, playing scrabble, card games, Wii bowling, being
surrounded by beautiful flowers and socializing with her friends and family. When she moved from the suburbs of Beavercreek to downtown Dayton South Park she enjoyed

Mary was part of a Monday bridge-playing group at 10 Wilmington, whom I met when visiting my father, John Maloney, from 2005-09. My Dad passed on then but I kept showing up at 10 WP, sometimes to visit other residents, but the bridge crowd always remembered me and was glad to let me play. Mary was at the center of it, along with Ray Lemming, who died just this past January at 92. My last game there was in 2018, again when I was in town on a Monday. I'll miss Mary and the rest of that lively crowd.
