- Ruth (Pat) Beck Reddick, 83, Salt Lake City, Utah died peacefully Monday, September 30th at home with her daughter and granddaughter by her side.
Born April 7, 1919 to Mamie and William Beck in Salt Lake City. Her grandparents originally coming from Denmark migrated to Utah in the mid 1800's. Her grandfather, Andres Beck, was instrumental in helping build the Mormon Tabernacle until it's completion in 1867. Just as her family before her, she was a very active member in the LDS Church. She was one of the original officers of the BHCC (Bonneville Hills Community Council) and a talented reporter for local newspapers at an unusually young age. She was a devoted Republican and supported many political causes in her area as well as in Washington, D.C. She was a gifted artist using oil paints to express her love for the beauty of the Utah mountains. Her work is displayed in various prominent historical Utah and Colorado sites. A lifelong accomplished gardener, she was eminently passionate about nature and all of the beautiful colors the changing season would bring. She was kind, generous, and extremely loving to everyone around her. Her love for her family was unconditional. Blessed with five children, the eldest of which shared her birthday, three grandchildren, three great-grandchildren with one on the way, she was clearly a proud and devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Survived by her daughter, Ellen Reddick, Salt Lake City, UT; her daughter-in-law, Bonnie Reddick (David), Denver CO; three grandchildren, Joell Reddick Dalton (Robb), Denver CO; Jon Reddick (Renee), Denver CO; Erica Reddick Isom (Charles), Salt Lake City UT; and three great-grandchildren, Conor Reddick, Nicholas Dalton and Michael Dalton, all of Denver CO. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, L.W. (Mike) Reddick and all four of her adoring sons, David Reddick, Stephen Reddick, Paul Reddick, and Michael Reddick. Upon her passing, she was surely guided to the heavens by the loved ones she has dearly missed.
Funeral services will be held Friday, October 4th at 12:00 p.m. at the Monument Park Third Ward, 2115 South Roosevelt Ave. Friends may call one hour prior to the service at the church. Interment Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park, Funeral Directors, Wasatch Lawn Mortuary.
Pat has requested in place of flowers, donations be made to the Huntsman Cancer Institute in the name of David D. Reddick.
