Lindsey Ann Beck

Our beloved daughter Lindsey Ann Beck, 24, of Billings, Montana, passed peacefully and returned to God on Dec. 29, 2010 at St. Vincent Healthcare from complications of leukemia. Lindsey was born on May 7, 1986, in San Diego, California. She subsequently lived in Dubuque, Iowa, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, and has been in Billings since 1998. She also briefly lived and worked in Denver. Lindsey previously attended Trinity Lutheran School and is a 2004 graduate of Billings West High School. She has previously worked for Wal-Mart and Toys R Us. She was planning to attend art college, when she became ill in February, 2010. Lindsey was gifted in the areas of art & design and computer science, as well as having a natural talent with music. She was an exceptionally kind and gentle person who also enjoyed nature, animals and the world's beauty. She touched all those she met with her selfless nature. She possessed a high standard of morals and values. She was truly a gift and an example of some of God's finest work. Lindsey is survived by her parents, Warren and Pamela Beck of Billings; paternal grandmother, Norma Beck of Greens Fork, Indiana; uncle, Darrell (Laura) Beck and family of Richmond, Indiana; aunt, Karen (Chuck) DeShazer of Topock, Arizona. She also has extended family members in Indiana, Washington and Colorado.

Our lovely Lindsey, you were only with us for a short time but your deep compassion, your kind heart and gentle spirit will fill our hearts forever. For those who love you, you were more our teacher of life than we were to you. We love you and will keep you with us forever. Be at peace with God's grace.
