Evelyn Doris Becker

May 28, 1926 - December 5, 2019

Evelyn Doris Camberg was born May 28, 1926 in Kennard, Nebraska to Lyman and Maude (Lineberry) Camberg. Evelyn grew up and attended school in Kennard, graduating from Kennard High School in 1943. In her younger years, she enjoyed going bowling. Evelyn married Del Becker on July 3, 1948 in Wahoo, Nebraska, and they were blessed with three children: Steve, Vicki, and Tami. Evelyn and Del made their home in Kennard, the Valley/Waterloo area, and most recently lived in Fremont. Evelyn worked as a secretary for a few years, but her primary job was mother to her three kids. She enjoyed golf, crocheting, shopping, volunteering, fishing, and playing Bingo. She cared deeply for her hometown of Kennard, the lifelong friends she made there, and her membership of over 70 years to Grace United Methodist church in Kennard. She was a fan of country/western music, Husker football, the movie “Gone with the Wind”, and dinner at Long John Silver’s or Farmer Brown’s. Her favorite color was pink, and she loved anything and everything pink. Evelyn cherished her 70 years of marriage to Del, and was happy to spend several recent winters at their house in Florida together with him. Most of all, Evelyn loved her family, and her grandkids and great grandkids never failed to put a smile on her face. Evelyn died on Thursday, December 5, 2019 at Shalimar Gardens Assisted Living in Fremont, Nebraska at the age of 93 years, 6 months, and 7 days. She was preceded in death by her husband Del, her parents, 4 sisters and one brother.
