Elaine Becker, 93, formerly of Macungie and Reading, died in the early hours of Feb. 22, 2021, in the care of the Masonic Village, Elizabethtown. She was the loving wife of the late Robert E. Becker Jr., who died in 1995. Born in Louisville, Ky., she was a daughter of the late William and E. Francis (Hund) Spangler.
