It has pleased Almighty God to take unto Himself the soul of Doris (Ailts) Beckler, wife of Howard Beckler and mother to two daughters, Tammy Bentz and Holly Bloomer. She passed away peacefully at her home on the morning of August 4th after a three month struggle with cancer. Committal Services were held on Friday morning, August 8, 2003 at the Dallas - Fort Worth National Cemetery. A memorial service was conducted at Faith Lutheran Church in Plano, Texas on Saturday afternoon, August 9th.Her pastor spoke kindly of the Ailts family upbringing in South Dakota and of her family's commitment to Christ and His ministry. Doris attended two Lutheran colleges in Minnesota and Nebraska on her way to qualify as a parochial school teacher for LCMS schools. "The Ailts family must have thought highly of the Beckler family because three of them found their spouses there", quipped the Pastor during his sermon. | |

Howard, Doris and Tammy at first reunion. |
|
Howard and Doris at the family reunion in Tobias, Nebraska, in the summer of 1958. Daughter Tamara (Tammy)is inbetween grandpa and grandma. Holly was a gleam in Howard's eye at this time. As you can see by the look on Edwin's face, Howard was always one of his favorites and got all the special privileges, such as an extra bowl of 'nail soup' when he was younger. |

Howard and Doris Beckler.... at Family Reunion |
|
Howard and Doris Beckler live in the Dallas area. Howard is one of the first sons of Edwin and Frieda Beckler. Howard was the third member of the Beckler family who married a member of the Ailts family. Brother Donald married Alice (Ailts). Bern Ailts married sister Sarah (Beckler) and Howard Beckler married Doris (Ailts). Then along came brother Victor (Beckler) and Wayne (Ailts). Arrangements beyond a good friendship were not even a part of anyone's imagination. | |
