Rebecca “Becky” K. (Nose) Bartrum, 67, Gas City, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, January 28, 2017, at Marion General Hospital. Born in Marion to the late Frank B. and Alberta (Spaulding) Nose, Becky lived most of her life in Gas City. She graduated from Mississinewa High School in 1967 and married Joseph E. Bartrum on February 10, 1968.
Becky worked in the Carton Department at Foster-Forbes for 26 years until her retirement in 1998. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, and friend. She loved to write poetry and read the devotions daily, as well as pray for everyone. Becky also liked to play bingo for fun, and she enjoyed family gatherings and spending time with her dogs. Most of all, she loved her husband, her sons and their families, and her brother and sisters. All of them meant the world to her.
She will be greatly missed by her loving family which includes her husband of 48 years, Joseph; sons, Joe (Georgia) Bartrum II, Jeremy (Lisa Holmes) Bartrum, and James (April) Bartrum; grandchildren, Bethany (Clinton) Kirkwood, Raven Bartrum, Matthew Bartrum, and Breana Bartrum; brothers, Frank (Pat) Nose and Robert (Barb) Nose; sisters, Linda Redden and Chris Nose; and several nephews, nieces, and friends.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Paul Nose.
