My Grandma Merry was the light of my life. She was nurturing, loving and simply the best! I will always be grateful for what she did for my brother, Trevor Beckham, and I. Her spirit will live on with us, forever. We love you our beautiful G.

Such a gracious and loving lady! Merry always welcomed me with a smile and a hug. Her kindness and love will always be remembered.

Merry was a very kind person. She remembered every detail of her past, making her the family storyteller. She will be missed.

I am sad to learn of Merry’s passing. She and I were members of the NHS class of’61. I admired her for her fun personality and her beauty. I sincerely hope that in her final days she was happy and pain free.

BECKHAM, Merry R., left to be with her Lord on July 15, 2025. Merry was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 48 years, Thomas A. Beckham.
She was a proud and devoted mother to her children, Jeffrey (Julie) Beckham, Amy (Rick) Barnett, and David Beckham. Each one carries on her legacy of kindness, strength, and generosity.
She also adored her six grandchildren, each of whom brought her tremendous joy: Thomas (Brenna) Barnett, Andrew (Erica) Barnett, Rian Beckham, Taylor (Adam) Stickney, Trevor (Veronika) Beckham, and Haley Beckham. And her love extended to her precious great-grandson, Crue Beckham.
She greatly loved the siblings she leaves behind: her sister, Sue (Bill) Watts, and brother, Bill (Ellen) Baker. She was also so fond of her close group of Norwood High School friends, “the lunch crew,” who kept one another company after the passing of their spouses.
Visitation will be held at Mihovk-Rosenacker Funeral Home, 10211 Plainfield Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45241, on Thursday, July 24 from noon until service of Christian burial at 2 pm in the chapel. Entombment will follow at Rest Haven Memorial Park.
