Martha Rebecca Kling

Martha Rebecca “Becky” Kling, 103, of Hershey passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 4, 2026. Born in Elizabethtown, she was the daughter of the late Leo Vincent and Mabel Emma (Frank) Coble. She was the loving wife of 77 years to the late James “Jim” Kling.

Becky was a 1939 graduate of Elizabethtown Area High School. She and her husband Jim met on a blind date and later both worked as Civil Service Employees at Olmsted Air Force Base in Middletown, PA. Both of their jobs were transferred to Warner-Robins Air Force Base in Georgia in the mid-‘60’s when Olmsted was closed. They eventually retired from their Civil Services positions but remained very active as Becky was instrumental in the development and curating the aircraft museum at Warner-Robins AFB. She and Jim loved to travel both nationally and internationally. Becky and Jim moved back to PA finally in 2013.

She is survived by two sisters, Mary Reheard and Jackie Arndt; along with several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, great-great-nieces, and great-great-nephews.
