BECK, Norma Jean
After a 10-year battle with Alzheimer's, Norma Jean Beck, 82, passed away peacefully in Louisville, Colorado, September 20, 2022, surrounded by family. Norma was born in Dayton, Ohio, on September 15, 1940, to Henry and Ruth Becker. She was married 58 years to Charles Beck, who passed away 4 years ago.

She coordinated a reading program, coached soccer, and volunteered at Bethesda Home for Boys and Chicago Botanic Garden. At the Westport Women's Club, she was named Woman of the Year for establishing the Curio Cottage, a thrift shop that remains an ongoing fundraiser.
