Shirley Jean Becker, age 88, a resident of Delaware, Ohio, passed away on January 28th, 2025.
Left to cherish Shirley's memory are her daughter, Kimberly Becker; son, Troy (Linda) Becker; brother, Jacque Bradford; grandchildren, Teran (David) Shaffer, Justin Becker, and Trina (Heath) Ruggles.
Shirley was born in Willard, Ohio, to the late John A. and Evelyn Bradford. She was raised in Plymouth, Ohio. Shirley was a loving wife of 64 years to Richard Becker, who preceded her in death. She was also a loving mother and grandmother.
Shirley would say that her greatest accomplishment was becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses. She was a faithful servant for well over 50 years. She was an excellent Bible teacher and found much joy sharing her love for God with her neighbors and those she met.
Shirley was creative and had a flair for decorating, fashion, hair, and makeup. She and her husband worked together remodeling and selling several homes. She was also a talented writer and published a children's book, Buddy's Shadow, which she dedicated to her grandchildren. Shirley was also a sports fan, particularly of basketball and football.
Her memories will live on through her friends and family. They find inner peace at this time, knowing that she is safe in God's memory. Her friends and family take comfort in the hope of seeing Shirley again in perfect condition on a paradise Earth with no more pain, suffering, or death. ( Revelation 21:4) A message and hope dear to Shirley's heart that she shared with many others.
In addition to her parents and husband Richard, Shirley was preceded in death by her stepfather, Walter "Shorty" Buchanan; sister, Margret Fedele; sister, Joy Lee Banville; sister-in-law, Dee Bradford; and nephew, Joe Fedele.
