ELIZABETH BECKER, 88
Elizabeth Jane Becker (née Cooper) of Bronxville, NY passed away on June 13, 2019. Elizabeth (“Liz”) was born in Hudson Falls, NY in 1931 and moved to New York City in her early 20s. As a single woman she worked as a telephone operator in the Empire State Building. Shortly thereafter she met Bernard (”Barney”), her husband-to-be. During 65 years of marriage they lived for many years in the Bainbridge (now Norwood) neighborhood of The Bronx and moved to Bronxville in 1967.
Elizabeth was a homemaker and raised two daughters. A lover of peonies, Van Gogh, caramel popcorn, and perfect mountain mornings, she enjoyed many summer weeks and autumn trips to the lake and river in her beloved Adirondacks. She greatly cherished being a loving grandmother to her two grandbabies.
She is survived by her husband, Bernard; her daughters, Karen Ann Becker (Mark Botton) and Kristine Elizabeth Becker; two granddaughters, Caitlin Mastroianni (Anthony Ditrio) and Megan Mastroianni (Mark Braza); a sister and brothers. A day of tribute and remembrance will be planned in the future. The Becker family wishes to extend their thanks to the staff of Andrus On Hudson (Hastings-on-Hudson, NY) and the loving care of Calvary Hospice for making Mom comfortable during her life transition.
