Eloise Tippins Becker died Thursday, Sept. 23, 2004, in Macon, Ga. at the age of 94. Mrs. Becker had lived in Macon for five years having moved from Brookhaven where she lived all her married life. After graduating from Newcomb College in New Orleans she came to Brookhaven to teach Latin in 1930. She was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 66 years Jasper Benoit Becker. She was the daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Henry Keener Tippins of Geneva, Ala., and sister to the late Marjorie Tippins Williams and Ida Williams Tippins Segrest.
Mrs. Becker was active in the First United Methodist Church and was honored as a 50 year member and past president of the King's Daughters Willing Hearts Circle. She was a member and past president of the Climbers' Club, a participant in the library's book discussion group, and several bridge groups. She was well known for her metal flower artistry and was asked to display a bouquet of these flowers at an art exhibit of Mississippi women artists in Jackson. Her friendly, loving, and outgoing personality will be missed by her many friends and family members. Of the twelve children of F.F. and Mary McGrath Becker and their spouses, she was the last survivor. She always enjoyed being a member of that large clan.
