ST. GEORGE – Barbara Mae Beck Kilm, 76, died peacefully Wednesday, October 15, 2003 in St. George, Utah. She was born March 12, 1927 in Lehi, Utah, the oldest child of Artie Merrill and Bertha Mae Bradshaw Beck. Her first five years were spent in Lehi within close proximity of her large extended family. She loved to spend time and visit often with her family, and often shared cherished memories of her early years.
At the age of five, her family moved to California where she spent her teen years. She graduated from Burbank High in 1945 and kept in contact with several of her dear high school friends. Barbara worked many years in banking. She met her husband Frank Kihm while they were working together at the same branch. They were married in October 1948 and raised all five of their children in West Covina, California. Barbara has lived in St. George for the past eight years, where she has enjoyed many friendships.
Barbara’s passion through her whole life was family history work. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in many callings over the years, but her favorite was always helping others with their family history work. From 1993-1994 she and Frank served a Family History Mission in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Barbara is survived by her husband, children, Kathy Barker, Carolyn (Larry) Nevarez, Lorraine Kihm, Linda (Brian) Voigt, Michael (Lorraine) Kihm, sister, Dianne (Gil) Farley, 19 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held Monday October 20th, at 10:00 a.m. at the Bloomington Hills LDS, 4th Ward Chapel, 750 E. Fort Pierce Dr. in St. George. Visitation will be at 9:00 a.m. prior to services at the chapel. Interment will be in the St. George City Cemetery under the direction of Metcalf Mortuary, 435-673-4221.
