Cecelia Magdalena (Beckman) Dick passed away on Tuesday, June 23, 2015, at The Village.
Cecelia Magdalena (Beckman) Dick was born on January 11, 1915 in Freeman, South Dakota, the daughter of Herman and Augusta (Stunkart) Beckman. She received her education in the Marion, South Dakota community and later attended Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas.
Being an efficient cook, she used her abilities to cook at the Bible Academy at Lustre, Montana; Pacific College in Fresno, California and at Hume Lake Christian Conference Center near Fresno.
While living and helping in the home of Mr. .and Mrs. A. A. Dick in Mountain Lake, she caught the eye of Henry L. Dick, and they were married on November 28, 1964 at the Mennonite Brethren Church (now Community Bible Church) in Mountain Lake.
Together they farmed on the Dick family farm until 1982, when they moved into Mountain Lake. Cecelia was an avid entertainer, enjoyed her many friends and her involvement in church with Awana children, as well as relief work, which included making quilts for the needy.
Soon after her husband passed away, she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, and entered The Village on July 31, 1998. Even there, she showed her love and concern for others by visiting other residents, wheeling them to the dining room, and making staff aware of their needs.
She is survived by her sisters-in-law, Lena Dick and Annette Dick, both of Mountain Lake.
She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; siblings, Erna (Lewis) Ewert, Herb (June) Beckman, Arnold (Wilma) Beckman, Leone (Dick) VanSchyndel, Gary (Esther) (Betty) Beckman, Linda (Bill) VanSchyndel and Helen (Milton) Boese and in-laws, Jacob L. Dick, Tina Dick, Leonard and Rosie Dick, Dietrich and Rosella Dick, Emma Dick, David M. and Minnie Ewert, and Emil Dick. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
Memorials are preferred for Mennonite Brethren Missions.
