Deb Becker

Deborah Sue “Deb” Becker, of Warsaw, passed away at 5:42 a.m. Monday, Aug. 19, 2024, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. She was 64 years old.

Born on Nov. 5, 1959, in Greenfield, Ind., she was the beloved daughter of Zelda Yvonne (Clonch) and John Adamson Tilley. On May 30, 1992, Deborah married William Joshua “Bill” Becker Jr., and they shared 27 wonderful years before Bill’s passing on March 30, 2020.

Deb was a 1978 graduate of Greenfield-Central High School in Greenfield and was active in gymnastics and Girl Scouts. She was a resident of Kosciusko County for 24 years. She worked as a radiology technician for nearly 40 years, taking immense joy in seeing orthopedic patients recover. After retiring, she dedicated herself to her family, her friends, her travels and her loyal dogs.

Deb was a beloved mother to her children. She lived life full of love, laughter and beauty. A dedicated gardener, she found peace and joy in nurturing her plants and creating beautiful outdoor spaces. Her homemade meals brought warmth and were a highlight to every gathering. As a devoted Notre Dame fan, she proudly tailgated at countless games, celebrating each victory with enthusiasm. Above all, Deb cherished her role as a mother, finding immense pride and joy in the achievements of her children.

She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Michelle (Frank Moschetto) Morris, of Los Angeles; and her sons, Randall (Allison) Becker, of South Bend, and Adamson (Prinsandra) Becker, of Plymouth. Also surviving are her grandson, Hank Becker; her parents, Zelda and John Tilley, of Greenfield; and her sister, Terry Kay Tilley, of Indianapolis. She was preceded in death by her husband, Bill.
