Becky Jo Zuklich

Becky Jo (Christian) Zuklich made her grand entrance into this world on Christmas Eve, 1943, to proud parents Willard and Wilma (McCabe) Christian. Her older brother, Michael, was eager to greet her. Younger sister, Kathyrn “Kati” came six years later. Both are still living along with their spouses: Judy (Mike) and Tony Delfine (Kati), along with nephew, Christian Delfine. Becky’s family moved around a lot during her childhood but Greenville, Ohio became home amongst a plethora of extended family when she was in the 5th grade. She graduated from Greenville High School in 1961 and then quickly moved away to start a career with the airlines industry, beginning with Eastern Airlines and then transferring to Trans World Airlines (TWA). She eventually began working for the United States Postal Service, serving primarily in both Oil City and Meadville, PA. She met her late husband, John A. Zuklich, while working for TWA in Pittsburgh. The two married in April 1976 taking up residency in Utica, PA. Before long, Becky’s heart desire was granted and she became Momma to two children: John Christian (Melissa) and Jessica Suzanne Hosman. She was elated later in life when she “finally” became a grandparent. Lily Rae Zuklich and Zechariah John Hosman brought greater joy to their Mema than words could possibly say. Becky moved back to Greenville in 2019. Over the past seven years, she was able to reconnect with multiple cousins and friends who she made countless joy-filled memories with. She was so blessed to have all of her family and closest friends nearby during her last weeks of life on this earth. She was quick to share with each one of the peace through Jesus she had. She knew her life was held in God’s hands and she truly trusted Him with her every day. There is no doubt that on January 26, 2026 when she breathed her last breath, He took her hand and brought her to the place of eternal joy and peace. That was her last prayer for her loved ones… that they too would find peace through Jesus and rejoice in the new home she has permanently found. Arrangements have been entrusted to Zechar Bailey Funeral Home, Greenville, Ohio.
