Barbara Jean Letterman Beck
December 23, 1933 - March 5, 2016
Barbara Jean Letterman Beck went home to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on March 5, 2016. She was born in Candler, North Carolina, to the late Malone and Nora Hensley Letterman. At the age of 19, she moved to Durham, North Carolina, and started work as a telephone operator for GTE. She worked her way up to District Manager of the seven South Carolina Phone Marts; when she retired, GTE hired two men to replace her. A devout Christian, she read the Bible from start to finish every year and actively shared her faith and love of Jesus Christ. She was a kind, loving, generous, and charitable woman who helped many and was genuinely concerned for the welfare of others. She is survived by her daughter, Beverly Beck, and granddaughter, Savannah Beck, of Cary, North Carolina, and a sister, Ethel Letterman, of Asheville, North Carolina. A celebration of life will be held later this year in Asheville, North Carolina, and her ashes will be scattered in the mountains she called home.
