Rona Tobin Becker Obituary (1922 - 2015)

Rona Tobin Becker, 93, of Westerville, passed away on October 29, 2015. Rona was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 64 years, Stanley, one brother and two sisters. Survived by sister, Miriam Sculler; daughters, Judy Becker of Clearwater,FL, Robin Menker (Stan) of Westerville, Kathy "Kayla” Becker-Lowe (Ray Lowe) of Worcester, VT; grandchildren, David (Jill) and Abby (Mark Nodeen) Weingarten, Ben (Megan), Sam and Jake Menker, Elea and Luke Becker-Lowe, many nieces and nephews; most special great-granddaughter, Miranda Nodeen. Rona was a long-time volunteer at Children’s Hospital and Central Ohio Radio Reading Services. She was an avid reader, a self-described news junkie, and took great pleasure in making hundreds of knitted hats for those in need. Many thanks and much love to her dear friends and neighbors at “her beloved Ravine” for their warmth and caring. And a grateful thank-you to the wonderful NCR hospice staff who made all our lives easier at the end. A graveside service will be held at 11:00am on Friday, October 30 at Green Lawn Cemetery (Section 91). Shiva will be observed on at the Menker residence immediately following the service. Donations in Rona’s memory can be made to Worthington Special Olympics, 286 Weydon Rd. Worthington, OH 43085.
