Janice Lee Beck, 75, entered the Church Triumphant on Friday, January 23, 2026, surrounded by loved ones.

She was born June 25, 1950, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, to Warren and Roberta Knechel.

Janice graduated from New Hope-Solebury High School in New Hope, PA. She attended Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio; Rider University; the College of New Jersey; and graduated from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Music.

Janice was a devoted and loving wife to her husband, Russell Beck, with whom she shared 55 years of marriage. She was also a loving supporter of her son, Ryan Beck, cherishing the 49 years they shared. Janice took great pride in her brother, W. Robert Knechel, and his family.

Throughout her life, Janice served as an organist, hand bells and choir director at churches and chapels in New Jersey, Oklahoma, Hawaii, and finally in the CSRA, where she served at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, Saint Bartholomew's Episcopal Church and later at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church. Prior to health starting to decline, she continued sharing her love for music as a choir member at Lutheran Church of the Resurrection.

Janice was a beloved wife, mother, sister, and aunt, whose devotion to her family was evident in all she did. She was preceded in death by her parents, Warren and Roberta Knechel. She is survived by her husband, Russell Beck; son, Ryan Beck; brother, W. Robert Knechel (Anna Balkova); nephew, Andrew Knechel; and nieces, Abigail Drum and Martina Knechel.
