Obituary for Carolyn Becker
Mrs. Carolyn F. Becker, age 88, of Jefferson City, Mo., passed away Tuesday, April 17, 2018 at Jefferson City Manor.
She was born on August 24, 1929 in Jefferson City, Mo. the daughter of the late William and Onita (Cottrell) Marr. Carolyn was married on February 29, 1948 in Jefferson City, Mo. to Alan Arthur who preceded her in death on July 26, 2008.
A lifelong resident of the Central Missouri area, Carolyn was a 1947 graduate of Jefferson City High School, received her Bachelors degree in speech pathology from Lincoln University in 1971 and her Masters degree from Central Missouri State University in 1975.
She was employed with the Jefferson City Public Schools as a speech and language therapist from 1971 until 1989.
Carolyn’s love of Jefferson City was apparent by all the ways she gave back to the community. She was a woman of strong faith and was very involved with First Presbyterian Church as a Deacon and an Elder. She was also a member and past president of the Jefferson City Board of Education, served as past president of the P.T.A., was a member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood, Chapter HM, a past member of the board of River City Habitat for Humanity and the Jefferson City Park Board. While living at Heisinger Bluffs Carolyn was usually seen volunteering for various projects or visiting other residents. She even helped make calls to retired teachers to encourage them to vote for the new public high school.
Carolyn and her husband, Alan, enjoyed traveling, especially to Fort Walton, Florida. She also played golf and tennis. However, she would be the first to tell you her favorite place was being in New Hampshire near her daughter, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.
Survivors include: her daughter Kathleen Loveless and her husband, Dr. Gordon Loveless, of Bedford, New Hampshire; a granddaughter, Dr. Amy Loveless Imam, and her husband, Dr. Patrick Imam; a grandson, Benjamin Alan Loveless; and two great-granddaughters, Samantha Imam and Katherine Imam.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 60 years, Alan A. Becker; her daughter, Linda Susan Becker; and her brother, Robert E. Marr.
Visitation will be held at the First Presbyterian Church from 10:00 until 11:00 am Tuesday, May 1, 2018. A memorial service will follow at 11:00 am with the Reverend Dr. David Henry officiating. Graveside services will be held at Riverview Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the First Presbyterian Church or River City Habitat for Humanity.
