Dorothy Marie Beckstead

Dorothy Marie Anderson Beckstead, age 96, was born on December 7, 1918 and passed from this mortal life on December 19, 2014. She was preceded in death by her husband, Benjamin Gordon Beckstead, a World War II Navy Veteran. She is survived by her three children, Gary Beckstead (Marjo), Lani Rawlins (Leon, deceased), Mary Potter (Glenn), 14 grandchildren, 52 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren. She was employed most of her adult years as a waitress and especially enjoyed serving her customers at Lamb's Grill. Dorothy lived a long, sometimes hard, but beautiful life.
