Emma M. Becker Memorial Scholarship

Biography

Mrs. Becker was born in Little Meadows, Pennsylvania in 1915. She grew up in Endicott, NY where she was an honor student in high school. Although she could not afford college to further her education, she attended the Lowell School of Business. With this training she became a bookkeeper for an automotive dealer for thirteen years. She was always a believer in higher education and liked to encourage young people to reach their goals.

Emma married her husband, Art Becker in 1938 and they had two children – Bonnie and Art. They moved to Azalea Trace in 1994 to be closer to their family. Before her death, she was an active member in Methodist Churches in Endicott, NY; New Canaan, Connecticut; Rochester, Minnesota; and Raleigh, NC.
