>> Margie Rae Stark Beckham <<
>> November 13, 1950- May 29, 2021 <<

Margie was born November 13, 1950, in Pleasanton, Kansas, where she
lived with her loving Mother, Ardell Hearn, and wonderful Siblings
Frank, Danny, Sherry, and Johnny Stark.

She moved to California got married and gave birth to four children.
The oldest Jody Jay Beckham preceded her in death and her daughters
Tammy, Randa, and Michelle have survived her and were blessed to be by
her side when she transitioned to her new journey.

Margie is a wonderful person and helped raise many generations of
children from her own kids to nephews, nieces, friends, neighbors,
grandkids, and great-grandkids. It was not uncommon to find Margie
caring for young people giving them shelter, advice, and food.

Margie was a housewife until she was 43 when she divorced and moved to
Parker, Ariz. Her first job was at Circle K and she enjoyed the
independence it provided her. She wanted something different and began
working for the Blue Water Casino in the cage. She moved up from the
cage to the Banquet department. Margie enjoyed working hard and used
her money to buy herself a home which she took pride in decorating and
making her own.

She retired in 2014 and often took trips with her neighbor and best
friend Jan Scott. Many times her girls from California would call her
phone and there would be no answer. Then when they would finally get a
hold of her she would say "Oh, Jan and I went to Laughlin."

There are too many words to paint you the picture of Margie. You see
even though she was such a tiny woman the impact of her heart of gold
and sacrifice touched so very many lives. She was kind, strict, and
fair.

A very special thanks to River Valley Home Hospice. A celebration of
life service will be held on Sunday, June 27, 2021, @ 2 pm. Chaplin
Kathy Kenneth with River Valley home health and hospice will be
officiating. The location is at Parker High School in the Alumni Hall
