November 2, 1976 - March 6, 2023
Dellann Christa Beckley, 46, of Copperopolis, CA, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus, on March 6, 2023, following a sudden stroke on March 1, 2023. Dellann was born November 2, 1976, in Lodi, CA, to John Paul Morton and Leigh Marina Malone.
Dellann attended St. Peters elementary in Lodi, through 8th-grade graduation after which she attended Galt Joint High School through her sophomore year. Dellann then achieved her GED.
In her early years, Dellann performed HR work for Target and later worked as an Office Manager / Personal Assistant to Steve Senior and Associates, a Lodi Financial Services Company.
Later in life, Dellann turned to her passion for helping people by working as the Meals Coordinator for the LOEL Senior Center, a non-profit in Lodi. Dellann thoroughly enjoyed managing the Meals on Wheels program and assisting the seniors.
Following her retirement in 2019, Dellann continued pursuing her passion for helping others by becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for youth in Calaveras County. Dellann thoroughly enjoyed her time working with the youth of the CASA program.
The underlying theme of Dellann’s life is that of service born from her love of people stemming from her relationship with her Lord and Savior, Jesus. Dellann attended Lake Tulloch Bible Church in Copperopolis, where she recently began assisting with the church bookkeeping. Dellann found great joy in helping others, especially those who often could not help themselves. Dellann was a steadfast mentor to her seven nieces, three nephews, two great-nieces, and four great-nephews.
In 2005 Dellann met the love of her life, Mark Beckley. In May 2009, Mark and Dellann moved to Copperopolis and were married on March 27, 2010. Dellann and Mark were not just spouses in love but best friends.
Dellann is survived by her husband, Mark Wayne Beckley (Copperopolis); mother, Leigh Marina Cruz (Galt); father, John Paul Morton (Stockton); step-father George Cruz (Galt) and sister, Danalee Rodriguez (Susanville).
