Eleanor Albright Becker

Eleanor Albright Becker, 98, died on June 4, 2025, at the Petersburg Home for Ladies. She was born in Davies, Indiana, and moved to Baltimore when she was a young child. Her marriage to Worther Guy Becker, Jr., brought her to Petersburg where they raised their family of five children. Eleanor was a devoted wife and mother who loved to entertain, play bridge, cook, read, and explore creative arts. She passed along her artistic talent to her children and grandchildren. She was particularly known and loved as a confidant, someone who always listened compassionately and without judgment. She served on the altar guild at Christ and Grace Episcopal Church in Petersburg, always maintaining a quiet and contemplative faith. She was preceded in death by her parents, Leslie and Laura Albright; a brother, Harold Albright; and a sister, Virginia Eileen Albright Wilson. She was predeceased by her husband of 63 years, Worther Guy Becker, Jr.; and a daughter, Cheri Becker. She is survived by her children, Leslie Eggleston (Bev), Guy Becker (Karen), Ellie McDaniel (David), and Reynolds Becker (Beverly). She was loved dearly by her grandchildren, Lesley Suttle, Rick Suttle, Becky McDaniel, Dave McDaniel, Worth Becker, Brittany Haynes, Winston Becker, Randall Drumheller, and Laura Becker; as well as her eight great-grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held on Monday, June 30, 2025, at 1:00 p.m., at Southlawn Memorial Park in Petersburg with the Reverend Becky McDaniel, officiating. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in memory of Eleanor Becker to the Fellowship Fund at the Petersburg Home for Ladies.
