Becky Jo Kuhlman-Grohoske

June 4, 1944-September 7, 2024

We celebrate the beautiful life of Becky who died on Saturday evening September 7, 2024. She was born in Lima, Ohio to the late Edward Tierney and Freida Crawford. She was the eldest of 3 children. Becky was married to her sweetheart, Jerry Grohoske, for 31 years. They lived in Findlay, Ohio, retired to the beach in Bradenton, Florida for eleven years, then moved to Tennessee to live out their days together near family.

Becky was gifted with immense talent and drive pursuing excellence in everything that she touched. She was an interior designer by trade but never viewed her skills as a job or a career. Her sincerity for people cultivated trust and loyalty that bloomed into life-long friendships.

As a friend, she was valued and cherished, speaking truth without flattery or fluff. She generously gave time and her laughter that enlightened the room. Her friends remember her love for diet coke, Gaither’s Homecoming Concerts, and daily desserts that she protected with her life and her fork. Her love for art, music, and flowers was a constant part of her life.

While raising six children her presence was dependable without fail. She was affectionate, loving and always protective, while remarkably rarely missing an event in their lives. It was so important to her to have dinner together around the table as much as possible, sharing with one another. She had said many times that raising six children was “so much fun.” She prayed for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren faithfully, while always hoping for a new baby to come along to spoil.

She loved her Heavenly Father with all of her heart and her faith in Him could not be squelched by the trials that life brought. Together, they won the battle with breast cancer and 20-year battle with Parkinson’s disease on September 7, 2024.

In addition to her parents, Becky is preceded in death by her son, Robby Kuhlman; brother, John Staas; and sister-in-law, Kathie Staas.

Becky is survived by her loving husband of 31 years, Jerry Grohoske; her children, Mike Kuhlman (Jenny), Tammy Pickett, Kim Stevenson (Jim), LeaAnn Altizer, Rick Kuhlman (Amanda); Jay Kuhlman (Page); Jan Grohoske (Angie); Mark Grohoske; grandchildren, McKenzie Kuhlman, Jaclyn Reiselt (Ryan), Jennifer Parks (Adam), Sydney Pickett, Lexi Pickett, Michael Stevenson (Rachel), Abby Montgomery (Jadon), Nelson Stevenson, Micah Hall (William), Eric Altizer, Ellie Grohoske, Enzo Kuhlman, Luciano Kuhlman, Beck Kuhlman, Pacey Kuhlman, and Finn Kuhlman; great grandchildren, Colton Reiselt, Tayden Pereda, Everly Pereda, and Levi Hall; and brother, Doug Staas.

Her life, WELL-LIVED, is celebrated. Beautiful and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend.

Visitation for Becky will be held Saturday, September 14, 2024 from 12:00 pm until the time of service at 2:00 pm at Hendersonville Funeral Home (353 E. Main St., Hendersonville, Tennessee 37075).
