On June 3, 1906, at the age of 19, she was baptized on the confession of her faith and received into the New Hopedale Mennonite church at Meno. though taking her membership to another church for an interval of time, she again brought it back to Meno and remained a faithful, active member till the end. She was very active in the Ladies' Aid and very faithful in attendance at the worship services of the church, where her presence will be greatly missed.
On December 1, 1936, she was united in marriage to Dan Becker. They have been permitted to spend some fourteen and one-half years in married bliss on their farm home north of Meno.
About six years ago she discovered a diabetic condition in her system. though this caused her considerable discomfort, she did not permit it to rob her of the joy of living and serving. On July 3, 1950, she suffered from an attack caused by a blood clot which partially paralized her for several days. On July 13, 1951, she was again seriously stricken and was admitted to the hospital. After a day or so she began to rally and showed steady improvement. Sunday afternoon (July 22) she felt she was well enough to go home, but the Lord had planned differently. At 6:00 p.m. she lapsed into a coma from which she never revived. The Lord called her home at 6:15 Monday morning, July 23, 1951, at the age of 64 years, three months, and 19 days.
She leave behind her husband, Dan Becker; seven sisters, Susie, Mrs. Jacob Unruh, Lena, Mrs. Jonathan Jantz, Ida, Mrs. Irwin Unruh, all of Meno; Annie, Mrs. Jacob Schmidt of Ft. Cobb; Caroline, Mrs. Henry Pekrul, Ringwood; Mary, Mrs. Sam Pjesky of Enid; Julia, Mrs. Wm. Boehs of Goltry; four brothers, Barney Koehn, Goltry; Isaac of Meno, John and Frank of Carnegie.
