At an early age she was united to the German Congregational church of Sutton and remained a member until transferring to the Hope Reformed church, also of Sutton, in which she retained faith until her passing.

On February 4, 1909, she was united in marriage to Emmanuel C. Becker and with her husband moved on to a farm northwest of Sutton, where she remained until death.

To this union four children were born, three daughters, one passing away in infancy, Mrs. Lu Ella Warren of Sutherland, Nebr., Mrs. Ceadia Rauscher of Aurora and one son, Harold E. Becker, Sutton.

Mrs. Becker unselfishly devoted her entire life to the rearing of her children and until her death the welfare of her loved one occupied her every thought.
