Mary F. Becker, 79, departed this life on November 19, 2018 at the family farm in Logan, Kansas.

She was born March 14, 1939 to the late Christy & Inez (Paramore) Lynch. Mary attended the Logan schools and graduated from Logan High School in 1957. She then acquired her Cosmetology license in Dodge City, Kansas.

On September 6, 1958 she married the love of her life, Robert V. Becker, at St. John’s Parish in Logan, Kansas. Shortly after their wedding, Mary followed Bob to Crailsheim, Germany, where he was stationed with the U. S. Army. Their first child, Gary, was born in Stuttgart, Germany in June of 1960.

The family returned to Logan after Bob’s discharge from the Army in November, 1960. Bob went to work for Coop and Mary started her career as a cosmetologist with Irene’s Beauty Shop. Their daughter, Laquita, was born in August, 1961 and then Rebecca in May, 1963.

After 17 years as a cosmetologist, Mary changed careers and started working as a cook at Logan Manor. She served in that capacity for 23 years before retiring.

Mary was an excellent homemaker who loved gardening, cooking and sewing, but her greatest treasures were her grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Christy & Inez Lynch; her sisters, Ruth Becker-Goscha and Frances Goetz; her brother, Ralph Lynch, and infant brother, Norman Lynch.
