Peggy Jean Becker

Peggy J. Becker was called to be with God on May 23, 2020, at home and in peace surrounded by family and friends.  Born February 18, 1949, in Lansing, Michigan, the daughter of Carl A. Raff and Norma J. (Cole) Raff and preceded in death by brother Gary (Pam) Raff.

She graduated from Lansing Everett High School in 1967 and worked for many years as a Physical Therapy Assistant at the old Lansing General Hospital, extremely blessed to have life-long friends to enjoy life’s adventures and stand with her through a courageous 10-year battle with cancer.  She relished in her grandchildren’s accomplishments, spending most evenings on the telephone letting family and friends know just how amazing they were.

Survived by husband Ronnie Becker, daughter Heather Aguillon, son Jonathan (Melissa) Gilbert, brother Jack Raff, stepson Matthew (Michelle) Becker, stepdaughter Catherine Becker, and her amazing grandchildren who filled her days with joy, Taylor and Hailey Aguillon; Nicholas, Emily, Sarah and Megan Gilbert; Madeline and Hannah Becker.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 23, 2021, at Parker Memorial Baptist Church, 1902 E. Cavanaugh Rd., Lansing, MI.

She would be happy to know in lieu of flowers you made a donation to the U of M Cancer Center in her honor at https://victors.us/peggyjbecker.

She will forever be the “Sunshine on My Shoulders.”

Clarke,
Thank you for your kind words. Our family has truly gotten smaller with Mom’s passing. I’m not sure how you came upon her obituary here, but perhaps it is a way for us to reconnect after all these years. It’s been way too long.
