Nancy Carol Becker, age 72 of Liberty Hill, TX passed away at home on Sunday May 21, 2023 surrounded by her loving family. Diagnosed with lung cancer in January of 2022, Nancy faced her illness head on without fear, without complaint, with grace, faith, courage, strength and with dignity until her very last day.
She was born to Milton Dee and Della Florine Bender on August 28, 1950 in Mendoza, TX. Nancy grew up in Georgetown, TX and was a 1968 graduate of Georgetown High School. Except for a short time living in Kingsland, TX with her love of 17 years; Don, Nancy resided in Liberty Hill, TX for most of her life.
As an electronics technician, Nancy worked for various companies in her life. She enjoyed working with her hands to test, manufacture and repair electrical equipment with different types of mother boards creating various products.
Upon her retirement, around 2002, Nancy spent most of her time with her mother Della. She loved spending time with her going to garage sales finding things on a dime that could be repainted and fixed to make new. She enjoyed working in the yard with her mother, pulling weeds, pruning bushes and reviving her yard decor. Nancy loved her family. She was unselfish and caring. From 2011-2013, along side of her sisters, Nancy was a caregiver for their mother. From the time she entered a nursing facility Nancy was always by her mothers side -- Always providing her with what she needed and requested. She was a wonderful sister! In 2020 she cared and provided for her brother Larry in many ways prior to his death and has been committed to helping and caring for her sister Marie’s needs for many years.
In the years of 2021-2023, Nancy had found joy playing different games of cards and fellowshiping with the men and women at the Stone Haven Senior Center in Georgetown at least a couple of days a week. She loved everyone that she met there, and they loved her. Nancy was kind-hearted and a giver, she enjoyed planning and throwing parties for each of their birthdays. It was always her goal to make someone feel special. She loved buying gifts for each one of them on every holiday. She never had much money, but would spend every cent she had if it meant making others feel good. She always looked forward to Christmas! She loved everything about it! She loved to decorate and she loved to buy gifts for her kids and grandkids. She never wanted to leave anyone out and she always wanted to make it as special as she could.
From 2007 to her death, Nancy’s home was with her daughter Michelle and her family. Nancy loved spending time watching Westerns, playing games and doing puzzles. She loved fresh flowers, mostly roses and would have them in her room as often as she could. She loved her pups and would spoil them. She never had a meal she didn’t share. Nancy’s most favorite time was spent with her children and grandchildren. They were her pride and joy.
Nancy is survived by 3 children, Keith and wife Tracie Becker of Liberty Hill, Brian Becker and fiance Shannon Ponton of Liberty Hill and Michelle and husband John Cearley of Liberty Hill; one sister, Marie Puente of Georgetown; and 5 grandsons, Justin, Andy, Jacob, Jordan and Tanner.
