October 11, 2022

John Ronald Beebe (Ron), son of the late John and Ida Beebe, passed away on October 11, 2022 at the age of 72 in Pennsylvania from complications related to Parkinson’s.

Ron grew up in Mount Holly, NJ, attending Rancocas Valley High School, Rider University, Rowan University, and TCNJ. He earned a degree in Business, a Masters Degree in Education, and his principal’s certification. He and wife, Joyce, raised their family in Springfield Township. After retirement he and his wife moved to Lititz, Pennsylvania to be close to their grandchildren.

The majority of Ron’s life was spent in education helping serve children. He started his career as a classroom teacher in Springfield, later moving to administration in Pemberton Township School District.

He enjoyed working with the school community, considering them his second family. He was a selfless individual, wanting everyone to be successful. He strived to find ways to enrich and nurture everyone’s life both in and out of the classroom, while always thinking of how his decisions would impact their lives.

Outside of school, he was known as Ron, Dad, and G-Pop. He loved spending time with his two grandchildren. They both kept him busy and constantly laughing. Ron enjoyed baking with his grandchildren and tasting afterwards! He had a love for New Jersey pizza, blueberries, and all chocolate. He enjoyed nature and taking walks.

Ron is survived by his wife, Joyce, and sons Evan and Garrett, daughter-in-law Maeve and two grandchildren Fiona and Jake. He is also survived by his sister Sandra Houlihan, niece and nephew Kristen Nelson, Michael Houlihan and several great nieces and nephews.

Ron will be cremated and then interred in the Mt. Holly Cemetery. A visitation will take place at Perinchief Chapels in Mt. Holly on October 15, 2022 from 11:00-1:00.
