After a long and
adventurous life, Marshall
Kaplan Becker “Marsh”
known by his friends
and family, passed away
December 6, 2021.
Marsh was born in Sault
Ste. Marie, Michigan, on December 25, 1934, to Walter
and Clarice (Autheir) Becker. He had one sister, Brenda,
and one brother, Bruce. Early in Marsh’s childhood,
the family moved to North Platte, Nebraska. After
graduation from high school, Marsh completed his
studies at Denver University.
Marsh served in the U.S. Air Force, which led to
his life-long career (and love!) as an airline pilot for
TransWorld Airlines.
Golfing, hunting, fishing, skiing, playing cards with
his grandchildren, and playing Bridge with good
friends were special times for everyone involved. Going
to Marsh’s for dinner was a special treat for his guests.
He was a great cook and host. Marsh loved to travel, his
cabin on Lake Superior, and his “5 o’clock somewhere”
Scotch!
Marsh is survived by his son, Matt Becker;
grandchildren, Greg and Marina Edgington, Annika
and Kylie Becker, Tennille Clark, and Laura Ann
Becker; three great-grandchildren, and many extended
family members. He is preceded in death by his parents;
siblings, and daughters, Cheryl, Debbie and Natalie.
Services will be held at a later date.
