Ruby Beckett

Ruby Marie Holland Beckett walked through the gates of Heaven, and into God's loving arms on November 13, 2013. The daughter of the late Robert C. Holland, and the late Bertha McCann Holland, she was born in Akron, on April 17, 1924, and she lived her entire life right here in Akron. On her way to eternal peace and joy, she stopped to spend over sixty two years with her high-school sweetheart, Robert L. Beckett, whom she married on May 23, 1942. He passed on to God's Glory on October 27, 2004.

She leaves behind two loving sons: Larry (Verna), and Dale (Patricia), and two loving daughters: Jill Talkington and Debi-Ellen Beckett.

There are also five granddaughters, Michelle Coral, Lisa Bennett, Crystal Lynne Beckett, Julie Massie (Randy), and Jennie McFarland (Troy). She leaves also five great-grandchildren: Ashley Adkins, Jacob Myers, Hunter & Tyler McFarland, and Matthew Coral. She also leaves one brother, James O. Holland, of Akron. She was preceded in death by brother, Robert A. Holland, and sisters, Odie Mae Kilgore, Agnes Carnahan, & Inez Somosko. There are many, many in-laws, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Mom taught us all so much: She taught her girls to be ladies at all times. The boys, she taught to be honorable and respectable, always. One of her sons was fond of calling Mom the "Ultimate Lady". This was true. Even when in an undesired situation, Mom would always be the one to remain unflappable. With Dad, they owned and operated Summit Mower Service for over thirty one years. They made a great deal of friends while in business and cherished them all. She had a good life, and will be missed forever.

Family and friends may call on Monday, November 18, from 5-7 p.m. at NEWCOMER FUNERAL HOME, 131 N. Canton Rd., where funeral services will be held on Tuesday, November 19 at 1:00 p.m. with Rev. Ed Witchey officiating. Interment at Rose Hill Burial Park.

"Just think of stepping on shore, and finding it Heaven!
Of touching a hand, and finding it God's.
Of breathing new air, and finding it Celestial!
Of waking up in Glory, and finding it Home!
