Margaret Beck, 86, peacefully passed away in her home on May 3rd surrounded by 
family. 

She was born in Rainer, Oregon and grew up near Kelso, Washington. She moved to 
Aberdeen to marry Arthur S. Beck in 1944. They then made Aberdeen their home 
for 62 years. 

She owned and operated a fabric store in downtown Aberdeen for a dozen years. 
She enjoyed spending time with her family, walking on the beach, gardening, 
antiquing, collecting dolls and making teddy bears. Her handmade teddy bears 
were instant treasured heirlooms for her family and many lucky friends. She was 
a founding member of The Ancient Mariners, a group of senior citizens who work 
as volunteers at the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport. 

Four children, Steve of Aberdeen, John of San Francisco, Jeanne of Orcas Island 
and Colleen of Redmond, Washington, survive her. Additionally she is survived 
by five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Her beloved Arthur, and her 
grandsons Shane and David preceded her in death. 

A celebration of the lives of both Margaret and Art will be held at the 7th 
Street Deli & Sweet Shop in Hoquiam, their granddaughter Debbie's 
establishment, this Saturday, May 13th, from 1:30 - 3:30 PM. Memorial donations 
can be made in honor of Margaret's life to the Ancient Mariners, c/o Grays
