Marion C. Becks aka "Cherry" was born in New York, was born January 24th 1933. Separated from her family and three sisters, she was received and adopted by Thelma Netter, who later became known by the family as "Gan Gan," Thelma and Roy Netter raised Marion as their own daughter in San Diego, California. In San Diego, Marion would then decide to join the armed forces, the Navy as a Medical Nurse. She was the only Black American to graduate along side her peers stationed in Coronado, CA.
Marion also met her only husband, Godfrey C Becks, who also was Navel officer and born there only child, Cheryl D. Becks. After completing their service in Coronado, the family moved up north where Marion C. Beck would continue her career in nursing at Brookside Hospital, working a surgical nurse, along side doctors performing open heart surgery. Marion, was said to be one of the finest nurses that doctors could rely because of her knowledge and technical skill level in her duties.
Although, she enjoyed a amazing life with her family and friends, Marion also battled alcoholism and depression. This would lead to many health and financial challenges as she aged. Marion's was known as the Matriarch of the family, and her sudden decline of he health and financial burdens became a example of how success can lead to failure if not protected.
This company is dedicated to the spirit of Marion C. Becks and her willingness to be a beacon of light for so many others that have battled alcoholism and other drugs that can take even the most successful person down from greatness to helplessness. Our goal is to help inspire those who are wanting to turn their lives around regardless of their past. We believe as Marion was a great example of how second chances can offer a lifetime of love and memories that are never forgotten.
