Becker, 70, died peacefully in her sleep at Oaknoll Retirement Center Monday, April 28, 2008. Barbara was born February 24, 1938 in Greene, Iowa, the daughter of Henry and Hulda Miller Voigts. Barbara was raised on a farm near Vilmer, Iowa, where she was active in 4-H.

Barbara married Louis Becker on August 14, 1960 at St. John's Lutheran Church in Vilmer. They later divorced. Barbara and Louis lived in Humboldt, Iowa, where she taught at the Clarion and Dakota Schools before becoming a mother. After moving to Iowa City in 1969 and completing her degree in Library Science, Barbara became the teacher-librarian at Robert Lucas Elementary School where she remained for over twenty years. She then opened the library at Kate Wickham Elementary School, where she remained for six years until her retirement in 2003. It was always Barbara's dream to travel. Barbara has traveled to Alaska, Australia, Germany, Spain, Greece, Africa, and to numerous Iowa bowl games and NCAA wrestling tournaments. Barbara was a weekly Rockin' Reader volunteer at Mark Twain Elementary School, where her daughter teaches second grade. Throughout her time as a teacher, librarian, and volunteer, Barbara instilled the love of reading in many students. She was a great friend to many and an inspiration to all. Barbara was a member of Zion Lutheran Church, NEA and ISEA, Delta Kappa Gamma, Hancher Guild, University Club, Red Shoes Club and numerous book clubs.

Most of all she enjoyed watching her grandchildren compete in football, wrestling, basketball, track, and horse shows at the Johnson County Fair and Iowa State Fair. She was very proud of all her grandchildren.
