Read More	Lucille Gaines Beck, 85, of East Wenatchee, passed peacefully on the afternoon of May 10, 2004, surrounded in the steadfast love of family and friends. Lucille was born on September 6, 1918, in Chelan to Charles and Lela Gaines with brothers Keith and Don and sisters Helen Gaines and Irene Hollingsworth who all preceded her in passing. She worked at Washington State University and then after waving her husband off to WWII from San Diego Naval Base, worked diligently at Boeing. Her family moved to the Wenatchee Valley from Spokane in 1958 and bought an orchard. Lucille led a very active life in the community with plans for her 60th wedding anniversary next month in celebration of a long and strong love and partnership with Benjamin Beck - the love of her life. He, in turn, carries the shoulder tatoo - I Love Lucy! - and often serenaded her with guitar and fiddle. Full of fun and adventure, they raised 3 girls, Janet Roberson-Wenatchee, Shirley Beck-Wenatchee and Ruth Ruppert-Kirkland and at the same time built 5 houses; were apple-pear and cherry growers and enjoyed many years selling fresh peaches at the Farmers Market and playing with the Old Time Fiddlers. Lucille was known as a great cook and creatively baked, fried, jellied, dried, canned and juiced everything and served others generously with food, faith and humour. From standing in food ration lines as a child to growing tons of fruit for export and local markets - she loved to see plants grow and always minimized waste. She loved being a businesswoman and homemaker with attention to every detail. Lucille is also survived by two grandchildren Yvonne and Gabe and Gabe and wife Rachel's newborn son, Aidan David Ruppert 5 weeks. A plaque from her wall for all to remember is an ageless suggestion from Grandma Beck to all: DON'T QUIT When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're traveling seems all up hill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must---but DO NOT QUIT. Life is erratic with its twists and turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up, though the pace seems slow, You might succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up When he learned too late, when the night slipped down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out The silver tint of the clouds of doubt And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar; So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit It's when things seem worst that you MUST NOT QUIT. Always to be missed but never forgotten...funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 15, 2004 at Telford's Chapel of the Valley. Services will conclude in the chapel with a private interment at Evergreen Memorial Park. Viewing will be held from noon to 8 p.m. Friday at the funeral home. Arrangements are by Telford's Chapel of the Valley, East Wenatchee.
