Gloria Mabel Becker, 88, of Turtle Lake died Monday, December 23, 2019 at Pioneer Nursing Home. She was born March 1, 1931 in Hillsdale to Albert and Minnie (Halverson) Horn.

Gloria was married at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Almena on December 29, 1951 to the love of her life, Harold "Fuzzy" Becker who preceded her in death on August 12, 2017. She was a life long member of the St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Almena. Gloria graduated from the Barron High School in 1949. She worked for Bill Molls harvesting potatoes, Becker's Trucking hauling milk for two years, Jerome Foods, and Miracle Ear.

Gloria loved spending time with her husband, kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. She was an excellent cook and always had two or three desserts baked at all times. Company was always welcomed at the Becker's. Her favorite past time was attending craft fairs and making crafts for friends and family. Gloria enjoyed golfing (especially when she beat Fuzzy!), music (especially county), stock car races, snowmobiling with the Midway Blizzard Busters, and playing many card games.

Numerous vacations were taken with the neighborhood bunch. She loved traveling in the motor home with Fuzzy. As the navigator, she loved telling him where to go! They were fortunate to have traveled to all 50 states, Canada, and Mexico. Gloria always said Alaska was her favorite trip. They started wintering in Hot Spring Village, AR and were later "Winter Texans" in the Rio Granda Valley. They spent over 25 years at the Tropical Trails RV Park in San Benito and made many friends. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
