Nella Mae Beckman, age 87, of Munster, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 11, 2017. Loving cousin and aunt to many.

Preceded in death by her beloved parents Raymond Beckman and Ann Beckman nee Van Willigan. Nella Mae retired after many years working for Hughes Aircraft out of California. When anyone would ask her what she did for a living, she would reply "I can't tell you, it is top secret". She loved most sports but would follow competitive ice skating from state to state. Before her mom passed away, they would travel the world. There wasn't a cruse that didn't have their name on it. Nella Mae was a longtime Eastern Star out of Griffith. She was loved by many and will be missed by more.
