The family of Dorothy A. Beckman has received the following condolences.
I have many fond memories of your Mom on the golf course. She was a delight to know and a wonderful lady!
My sympathy to you all. Mary Ann Kleis
To all Dorothy's family, I am so saddened to have heard of Dorothy's passing. I so adored her---she was not only a great friend but a wonderful mentor to me when we worked together at Assisi Heights!! I remember such funny times golfing, trips to the zoo, trip to the Bahamas, riding the golf cart down the road to Eastwood---
She made me laugh every day that I saw her and most in between just thinking about her---so sorry I lost touch this past many years but I still thought of her so often!!
Everyone is a better person for having known her and I will miss her. But how glad I am that she had such a great family and is now in such a better place!!!
Take care all of you and hope your wonderful memories help you thru such a sad time!!
Love, Pat--(used to be Jensson)
Greg, I'm sorry to hear of your loss...take care friend, Carl Distad
Dear Brad, Greg Colin and Julie,
There are not enough words to describe Aunt Dorothy! She was one in a million and will be missed by everyone in
our family! My sister Nancy and I had a chance to visit with Dorothy in April and when I asked her if she knew who
I was she looked at me and said "married to Jeff"! I loved spending time at Ed and Dorothy's when I was a kid -
not only was she patient and kind but she was a great cook! I just remember a really down to earth great person
who will be missed deeply! I know my brothers and sister Nancy all have the same great memories of Dorothy! Our
thoughts and prayers are with your family! From the Christopherson's - Ceil, Suzie, Nancy, Tommy and Bobby John!
Hello Beckman Family - please know my heart is with all of you as you are going through this period - Your mom lived a good life...my thoughts are with all of you during this difficult period.
Sincerely,
Sharon Varsoke
