Robert McBeth Scholarship Fund

Created in 2025 by Marilyn McBeth in loving memory of her late husband, Robert David “Bob” McBeth (1952–2025), the Robert McBeth Scholarship Fund supports students of the Medical Laboratory Technology program at Marion Technical College.

Bob was a lifelong Marion resident, known for his quiet kindness, curiosity, and dedication to helping others. A graduate of Elgin High School and The Ohio State University, Bob began his career at Marion General Hospital, first as an orderly and later as a medical technologist—a profession that inspired this scholarship.

Through this fund, Marilyn hopes to honor Bob’s life and give local students the chance to build meaningful careers in healthcare, right here in Marion.

Bob’s hobbies and interests included OSU football, Cincinnati Reds baseball, bird watching, the Green Camp Lions Club, gardening, and photography.

The Robert McBeth Scholarship carries forward Bob’s spirit of service, learning, and compassion, making a lasting difference for future generations.
