Dot Becker passed away peacefully on Aug. 29, 2016. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, on Nov. 6, 1916, Dot and her beloved husband Harry (z”l) moved to Orlando in 1946 to establish a successful clothing store on Church Street.

Dot was a founding member of Temple Israel, and she was active in Temple Israel Sisterhood and Hadassah serving as president of both organizations. She also served as PTA president of Concord Elementary School.

She was an avid tennis player until her late 70s and an excellent bridge player (both duplicate and contract) until her death. Strength of character, a gift for listening, acceptance of others, and a fun-loving capacity gained her many friends throughout her entire life.

Dot was greatly loved and respected by her entire family. She was preceded in death by her parents, Morris and Ida Klein, of Baltimore, Md., and her seven brothers and sisters.

She is survived by sons, Mark (“Snappy”) and wife Helene Becker, Jeff and wife Nancy Becker; and nine grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren: Michael Becker, Amy Becker, Jacob Becker (wife Elyse and great grandchild Quinn), Rachel Becker-Klein (husband Micah and great grandchildren Reuben and Sophie), Benjamin Will-Becker (wife Amy and great grandchildren Harry and Leo), Sarah Becker (great grandchild Aminata), Jeff Cohen, Danny Cohen-Vogel (wife Lora and great grandchildren Noah and Benjamin), and Debbie Abrams-Cohen (husband Jeff and great grandchildren Samantha and Gabriel). Also surviving are nephews William Shapiro, Robert Klein, niece Marilyn Shapiro and former daughter-in-law Lynne Portnoy.

The memory of Dorothy Becker will be a blessing.
