Clydette Gayle Beck

BURLEY – Clydette Gayle Harris Beck passed away Tuesday, March 1, 2022, in the comfort of her home surrounded by her family.

Gayle was born to Clyde Larsen Harris and Georgia Nell Harris on her mother’s birthday September 12, 1946, in Pocatello, Idaho. She was the fourth of five children. She attended schools in Burley and graduated from Burley High School in 1964. It was during these years that she met her future husband Bob. They dated on and off for several years. She then attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, for a year. She was interested in becoming a nurse and took classes from the local hospital.

After a year at BYU, things became serious and Gayle married her sweetheart, Robert McKell Beck, on April 2, 1966, in Burley, Idaho. They were later sealed on March 11, 1977, in the Ogden Utah Temple. She was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served in several callings in the Church. Some of her favorites were serving with her husband in the Singles Ward, Spanish Branch and, most recently, as service missionaries in the Idaho Pocatello Mission.

Her life was filled with service to her family and friends. She provided many meals to widows and widowers and was genuine in her relationships with those around her and always made everyone feel important and loved.

She was an integral part of the family farm, providing support wherever she could. She was extremely mindful of the weather and always showed concern for everyone’s safety. She kept everyone on their toes and worried until every last crop was harvested.

Family was everything to her. She displayed her dedication by attending every activity and event of her children and grandchildren up until the time of her death.

Gayle is survived by her husband of 56 years, Robert McKell Beck, and their children, Brandee (Trent) Bodily, Brady (Doug) Pickett, Ty (Matea) Beck, and Ryn (Lindsey) Beck; her grandchildren, Paxtyn Bodily, Brigham (Chad) Green, Maeser, Strom, and Porter Pickett, Mia, Zettalie, Raef, Taft, Auvay, Kinnley, Paisley, Blakeley, and Brogan Beck; brothers, B. Kent (Iris) Harris and Chad (Charmaine) Harris. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Cheryl Lee McCoy; and brother, LeRoy Craig Harris.

Our family would like to thank Suzanne Cook and Horizon Home Health and Hospice, Dr. Jared Manning and St. Luke’s Cancer Institute for the genuine care of our wife and mother as well as other healthcare professionals who cared for her.

The funeral will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, March 11, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Pella 2nd Ward, located at 152 W. 400 S., of Burley. Burial will be in Pella Cemetery.
