7. MAXINE GLORIA3 BECKIUS (HENRY GUSTAVE2, PETER1) was born 04 Nov 1909 in Prairie City, Grant, OR, and died 22 Jan 2005 in Anchorage, Anchorage, AK52. She married AVERY ROY ROBERTS 08 Mar 1936 in Alaska, son of FRANKLIN ROBERTS and ANNA ?. He was born 25 Aug 1892 in Oregon, and died 15 Mar 1975 in Anchorage, Anchorage, AK53.
Notes for MAXINE GLORIA BECKIUS:
Anchorage Daily News January 26, 2005
Maxine Roberts, 95
Pioneer Alaskan and longtime Anchorage resident Maxine Roberts, 95, died Jan. 22, 2005, at the Anchorage Pioneers' Home of natural causes.
A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. Friday at First Presbyterian Church, 616 W. 10th Ave.
Mrs. Roberts was born Nov. 4, 1909, in Prairie City, Ore., to Anna and Henry Beckius.
After graduating from nursing school, she accepted a position at Seward Methodist Hospital and came to Alaska on the S.S. Yukon in spring 1935. She immediately began caring for quarantined colonist children who had come down with the measles.
She married Seward dentist A.R. Roberts in 1936 and lived in Kodiak until 1942. They lived in Anchorage in the same house on Barrow Street for 50 years.
Mrs. Roberts took great joy in gardening and serving her own vegetables, pies and preserves. Her raspberry bushes were shared with many friends, who grew them elsewhere.
Her family wrote: "Maxine's faith in Jesus Christ was very strong. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church for 60 years and was active in the Lillie Berry Circle.
"Other organizations she joined were the League of Women Voters, Anchorage Pioneers of Alaska, World War I Ladies' Auxiliary of Jack Henry Post 1, and FISH.
"Maxine was especially hospitable to those who (enjoyed) a home-cooked meal. She invited young military couples, old bachelors and people coming in from the villages. She was definitely the nurturing type, and she watched out for the underdog. She loved Red Foley's song, 'If I Can Help Somebody.'
"She was well-known for her love of animals and she had many throughout her life, especially a black Lab named Beauty."
Mrs. Roberts is survived by her daughter, Averill Horvath; son-in-law, Daniel Horvath; sister, Charlotte Smith; nephew, Christopher Jay, and his family, Mardra, Hope, Christopher and Pohaku; nephews, Steve Jay, John Jay, Joseph Richards, Jim Stanton, Richard Stanton and Robert Miller; niece, Penny Hendrix; and sister-in-law, Doris Beckius.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Dr. Avery Roberts; sisters, Roxanna Beckius, Mary Stanton Fream, Juanita Jay, Anna Richards; and brother, Raymond Beckius.
Arrangements are with Evergreen Memorial Chapel.

Notes for CHRISTOPHER EDWARD JAY:
The following Christmas Letter was given to the museum to be added to this site by Chris Jay with his permission.
Christmas Letter 2005
2005 was a year of transition for this family, and we arrive at the end of it happy to be with one another for the holidays. We began with a goodbye to our beloved aunt, Maxine Roberts who died in January.
Margie and Chris attended the Inaugural festivities of Thomas Hochstettler as the new president of Lewis and Clark College. It was beautiful March weekend in Portland, and brought to a full circle Chris’s role as part of the presidential search committee for Lewis and Clark College.
Hope graduated in May from the University of Southern California, she finished her career at USC in three and a half years. Margie’s brother Quincy* hosted a lovely and unforgettable evening dinner at his home in Bel Air. Hope began work with Capital Guardian Trust Company, the parent company of American Funds Group. She currently is with the institutional side of the business in their headquarters office in downtown Los Angeles.
Christopher was our next graduate, and his big day was on Margie’s birthday in June. After four years as Culver Military Academy cadet, he graduated as the coveted "four year man." He was Drum Major of the marching band, a big honor at Culver; and co-captain of the crew team as well. Graduation weekend at Culver is full of tradition and reunions and parties, and last over three days. It is quite the occasion. He is now near completion of his first term at Seattle University, and enjoying it very much.
Our oldest Po continues to work at the mortgage company Ditech at their Costa Mesa, California Center. He and very special friends came home for Thanksgiving, and wanted to have it here in Anchorage with snow and cold weather. Some memories are very strong for Alaska kids, no matter how old they are, or where they may eventually live and work.
Margie was honored with some other "pioneers" of aviation at a very special event in the fall in New York City. She was honored at a dinner sponsored by Northwest Airlines and the Black Flight Attendant Association of America for helping to break the color barrier for women and men of color in the industry. She and others invited there were typically the first black flight attendants hired by their perspective carriers. Alaska Airlines provided transportation and lodging for us, and also sent a delegation from the company too. It was a quite the honor, and recognition by her peers and former employer.
Chris will mark his 30th year at Merrill Lynch a few days before Christmas, and is very grateful to all of those he has known as clients, friends and coworkers during these three decades. The contact with so many splendid people has been a great gift.
We have lost some very close friends this past year to illness, some expected, and some completely by surprise. Our hearts have been saddened each time, but Christmas is the season for the birth of hope. We continue to believe in that thought, and pray that you do as well.
