Henrietta M. Sprankel, Covington crossing guard

For 40 years, Henrietta M. Sprankel got up early in the morning to make sure children in Covington made it across the streets safely.

Mrs. Sprankel, 83, of Covington, died at 8:20 a.m. Thursday at her son's residence in Hebron.

When her duties as a crossing guard ended, Mrs. Sprankel stayed at the school and volunteered for just about everything else.

"She liked being with the children," said her son, David Sprankel of Hebron.

Mrs. Sprankel, who retired about three years ago, was a dedicated school crossing guard, rarely missing a day.

"She just loved it," Mr. Sprankel said.

"She was 80 years old, still getting up at 6 a.m. in the winter."

Mrs. Sprankel also enjoyed bingo, and she loved being around her grandchildren.

Dorothy Mae Beckner, business owner

When it came to operating a small business, Dorothy Mae Beckner was a survivor.

"The people in the bottoms were hurt by the floods, but she was among those who kept battling back," said former Dayton Mayor Gil Lynn.

Mrs. Beckner, 57, of Dayton, died Sunday at her residence.

She was the former owner and operator of several Dayton businesses - the Kenton Cafe, Rich and Dottie's Cafe, the Atlantic City Cafe, and R & D's Deli.

Mrs. Beckner and her second husband, Rich Adams, had Rich & Dottie's Cafe at Fourth Avenue and Clay Street, for about 10 years, until Dayton Urban Renewal bought them out. "It worked out well for everyone. They took over another place, when the owner was wanting to get out of business," said Lynn.

The Atlantic City Cafe, in the 900 block of Third Street, was named for a hobby both enjoyed, Adams said. "We both liked to gamble, and that was when gambling started in Atlantic City," he said.

The neighborhood tavern was also known for an annual Christmas party for youngsters. "We had 300 or 400 kids every Christmas. We were a little famous for that," said Adams.

More recently, he and Mrs. Beckner had operated the R & D Deli, on the curve of Mary Ingles Highway.

Dayton Council Member and former police officer Bobby Allen said he knew Mrs. Beckner since her childhood.

"She had a beautiful heart. She was one of the greatest persons I ever met. She loved all the kids," he said.

Mrs. Beckner's first husband, Lester Beckner, who was also involved with the operation of the Kenton Cafe, at Third Avenue and Kenton Street, preceded her in death.

Survivors also include sons, Dennis Beckner and Lester Beckner, both of Dayton, and Timothy Beckner of Butler; a daughter, Barbar a Jobe of Ludlow; stepsons, Charles Adams and Joseph Adams, both of Powder Springs, Ga.; 14 grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

Services will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday at Dobbling Funeral Home, Bellevue. Visitation will be from 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery, Southgate. Memorials are suggested to Hospice of Northern Kentucky, 1403 Alexandria Pike, Ft. Thomas, Ky. 41075.
