Debra Becker

Debra Jean (Mock) Becker passed away unexpectedly February 4, 2022. 

A celebration of life will be held in the spring.

Debra was born September 23, 1962 to Edward Charles and Alice Jane Mock in Milwaukee, WI. She graduated high school in Royalton and college at St. Cloud State University. She moved to Houston, TX where she met and married Gordon Becker. The couple, along with Gordon’s son, Andrion, all returned to the Staples area to live.

Deb worked at Essentia Health in Brainerd. She loved her job and work family. Staples Alliance Church in Staples was her extended family that gave her fellowship, joy and support. Deb was an avid flower gardener and planted flower bulbs by the thousands. She awaited every spring for the explosion of color that would emerge from the frozen ground. Deb deeply cared for other people, always helping in any way she could. She was thoughtful and encouraged everyone she knew to be their best selves. Her faith in Jesus Christ as her Savior led her to live a life of truth and peace. Her greatest mission in life was to spread the love of Jesus Christ and show God’s love and care for those in need. Deb was all about family and spent much time, energy and love on her family, nieces and nephews and their children. She enjoyed living in close proximity to family so she could see them almost daily.

She is survived by her step-son, Andrion Becker; her mother, Alice Mock; one brother, Chuck Mock; two sisters, Mary Mock and Patricia Clavin and numerous nieces and nephews that were dear to her heart. 

She is preceded in death by her husband, Gordon Becker and her father, Edward Mock.

Deb was a huge supporter of Focus on the Family. In lieu of flowers, Deb would appreciate donations be made on her behalf to FocusOnTheFamily.com.

Arrangements were by the Brenny Family Funeral Chapel, Staples.
