Ruth Eileen Beck

Ruth Eileen (Ditmer) Beck, 102, of Indianapolis, died on Thursday January 15, 2026, at Westminster Village. Born December 16,1923, she was the daughter of Russell and Irene (Huffman) Ditmer and had three brothers, Arthur, Marlin and Robert (all deceased). She was happily married for 67 years to Paul Beck (deceased). They raised 4 children, Sandra Kibbey (Eldon), Patricia Favorite (Henry), Donald (Peggy), and Bruce (Kathy). They had 13 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild.

Ruth was a classy woman with an adventurous spirit. She was always up for a new challenge and met each situation with determination and grace. She had a quiet sense of humor which would occasionally catch you off guard and quickly made her ever more endearing. She had a servant’s heart and was always a gracious hostess. Whether she was serving her husband, family, church, or community, she did so with unconditional love, making everyone she met feel valued. Above all, Ruth’s greatest legacy is her faith. She had an unwavering devotion to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She raised her children to fear and love the Lord, understand the value of family, and be the hands and feet of Jesus. Her life was one filled with joy, laughter, service, and humble faith. She will be deeply missed.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Paul, daughter-in-law Jennifer Beck, grandchildren David, Sarah and Becky Kibbey and great-grandson David Jacobs.

Services will be at Eagle Creek Grace Bible Church, 7001 W 46th St. Indianapolis, IN.
