Emily Rebecca Sturman (Kilpatrick) October 5, 1950 – May 8, 2025
Beckie Sturman, 74, of Orange Park, FL passed away in her home on May 8, 2025.
She was born in Eustis, FL in 1950 to Alice Joan Snell (Thomas Snell) and Austin Palmer. Beckie graduated from Andrew Jackson High School in 1968. She joined Bellsouth after high school and retired in 1998.
Beckie loved her family immensely. She was the most generous person in the family. She loved to share her experiences with her family, whether it be trips to Disney World or traveling through Europe. She was always there to help with any situation, always there to confide in, and she was always honest.
Beckie is survived by her husband, Terry Kilpatrick and by her siblings, Margie Thomas, Susan Williams, Kathy Jarmusik, Patricia Upshaw, Julie Acocella, Cindy Powell, and Tommy Snell. She had Nieces and Nephews, Great Nieces and Nephews, and Great-Great Nieces and Nephews who she loved dearly.
A service for Beckie will be held on May 30, 2025, at Jacksonville Memory Gardens, in the chapel at 11am. Following the service, a lunch in Beckie's honor will be held at The Hilltop Restaurant
